Bacterium tularense is associated with diseases of animals in which the lesions are indistinguishable from those of the plague. In man, deer-fly fever is resultant from Bacterium tularense. The organism bears no resemblance to the plague bacillus. Bacterium tularense will grow on egg-yolk medium only.
