A <em>Francisella tularensis</em> Chitinase Contributes to Bacterial Persistence and Replication in Two Major U.S. Tick Vectors

2020-11-20

Abstract excerpt

Tick-borne tularemia was first described in 1924. Nearly 100 years later, questions remain about the tick vector(s) that pose(s) the greatest risk for transmitting Francisella tularensis (Ft), the causative agent of tularemia. Additionally, few studies have identified genes/proteins required for Ft to infect, persist, and replicate in ticks. To answer questions about vector competence and Ft transmission by ticks,...
