Extract

Since its discovery in rodents by McCoy3 in California in 1911, tularaemia has been found to have a widespread distribution in North America. The same year it was described by Pearsd12 as an insect-borne disease. Francis1. in 1919- 1920 correlated these two manifestations and to him we owe most of our knowledge of the disease. It is now known to be contracted by man either by contact with infected animals or by the bites of flies or ticks which have become carriers through biting diseased rodents prior to attacking man, or even from the excreta of these insects.
