Tularemia
This publication provides a pragmatic synthesis of the ecology of a bacterial zoonotic disease (diseases transmissible between humans and animals) called tularemia, relevant today because of its recent reemergence as an infectious disease of concern and its classification as a Category A select agent with potential as a biological weapon. Category A relates to a governmental classification of select agents that highly regulates scientific investigations and other possession or use. The use of color, many illustrations, photographs, highlight boxes, and tables make this an eye-catching and educational publication.
