Rabbit fever

Kanamycin A is similar to streptomycin and neomycines and has a broad spectrum of antimicrobial action. It is active with respect to most Gram-positive as well as Gram-negative microorganisms (staphylococci, gastric bacilli, rabbit fever, Fridlender s bacillus, proteus, shigella, salmonella). 

Gentamicin has a broad spectrum of biological action, and is highly active with respect to strains of staphylococci that are resistant to penicilhns and other antibiotics, many Gramnegative microorganisms blue-pus bacillus, rabbit fever, enterobacter, salmonella, shigella, and proteus. 

Netilmicin is also highly effective with respect to Gram-negative microorganisms (blue-pus and colon bacilli, rabbit fever, serratia, providencia, enterobacteria, proteus, salmonella. 

Tularemia, also known as rabbit fever and deer fly fever, occurs throughout most of North America aud Eurasia. Every state in the United States except Hawaii has reported human cases, although most cases occur in the south-central and western states, especially Missouri, Arkansas, Oklahoma, South Dakota, aud Moutaua (Fig. 2.12 see color plate 2.12). Although the disease is endemic throughout... 

Tularemia, or rabbit fever, is severely debilitating, but has a very low fatahty rate. It is cause by the FranciseUa tularensis bacterium. 

Tularemia Like Brucellosis, which primarily affects cattle, tularemia (also known as rabbit fever ) is not normally fatal to humans. It was considered, however, that the chills, fever and general weakness the disease produced would disable an enemy for two to three weeks. Originally coded UL ... 

Tularemia (francisella tularensis), also known as rabbit fever, deerfly fever, and Ohara s disease, like the plague, is a bacterial infection that can occur naturally from the bite of insects, usually ticks and deerflies. The disease can also be acquired from contact with infected rabbits, muskrats, and squirrels, ingestion of contaminated food, or inhalation of contaminated dust. Once contracted, it is not directly spread from human to human. Tularemia remains infectious in the blood for about 2 weeks and in lesions for a month. It remains ineffective in deerflies for 14 days and ticks throughout their lifetime (about 2 years). The disease can occur at anytime of the year, but is most common in the early winter during rabbit hunting season and in the summer when tick and deerfly activity is at its peak. Tularemia contracted naturally has a death rate of approximately 5%. 

By 1954, the Pine Bluff laboratory produced Brucella suis (the causative agent of brucellosis, also called undulant fever) and Francisella tularensis (tularemia, or rabbit fever). Hardware for antipersonnel biological cluster bombs was delivered to Pine Bluff for filling with Brucella suis to support air force requirements. By 1955, the accelerated program was producing stocks of B suis and F tularensis as bio-... 

Tularemia (rabbit fever or deer fly fever) is a disease caused by Francisella tularensis, a gram-negative coccobaciUus that does not form spores. It is normally a disease of animals, and the disease is transmitted to humans by the bite of infected biting... 

As the verse indicates, a danger from skinning tularemia-infected rabbits (and other rodents) has long been recognized by hunters and people in the fur trade. Tularemia (also called rabbit fever ) is caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis. Both the United States and the Soviet Union weaponized tularemia, finding it to be an incapacitating BW agent.
