The type species, F. tularensis, causes the disease tularemia or rabbit fever. [4] F. novicida and F. philomiragia (previously Yersinia philomiragia) are associated with septicemia and invasive systemic infections.
Can I Ever Completely Get Rid Of Lyme Disease?
Collective Opinions From The Most Popular Lyme Doctors And Healers

The goal is not to "cure" or "eradicate" but to lower the load so that the immune system can manage. We will not eliminate all of these organisms entirely from our bodies. Source, October, 2010.
A true "cure" may be possible in early Lyme, but is not frequently seen in late Lyme. However, this does not mean that patients do not attain excellent results and have excellent health after treatment. It simply means that there may be a small number of Borrelia or other co-infections left in the body, and the immune system must be working properly to keep them in check. Source, March, 2011.
[Pandora's Box: pathogens in Ixodes ricinus ticks in Central Europe].
Abstract
Among the various species of hard ticks, Ixodes ricinus is the most frequently found tick throughout Europe. As with other ixodid ticks, the developmental cycle runs through three stages. In each stage a blood meal is required in order to develop to the next stage. Ixodes ricinus has been found to feed on more than 300 different vertebrate species. Usually, larval ticks feed on small mammals such as mice and become infected with various microorganisms and viruses, of which some are substantial pathogens to humans. The pathogens remain in the tick during molting and are thus transstadially transmitted to the next developmental stage. Pathogens transmitted to humans are the agents of Lyme borreliosis, the tick-borne encephalitis virus, Rickettsia species, Anaplasma phagocytophilum, occasionally Francisella tularensis, and protozoal Babesia species. Within the scope of an EU project Ixodes ricinus ticks from all federal states of Austria were searched by means of PCR methods for bacterial pathogens such as Anaplasma phagocytophilum, Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato, Coxiella burnetii, Ehrlichia spp., Francisella tularensis, Rickettsia spp., and protozoal Babesia. Additionally, the prevalence of Bartonella spp. in this tick species was also determined. Besides the singular detection of Coxiella burnetii and Francisella tularensis in one tick collection site the overall prevalence of Anaplasma phagocytophilum, borreliae, rickettsae and babesiae in Ixodes ricinus amounted to 15%, 14%, 6% and surprising 36% and 51%, respectively. Bartonellae were detected in about 7%.

Een epidemische verheffing bij dieren loopt veelal parallel aan een verhoogde incidentie van tularemie bij mensen.
Mensen kunnen besmet raken met F. tularensis via direct contact en na verwonding, via inhalatie van besmette
aerosolen en via ingestie. Indirect wordt de bacterie overgedragen door teken en stekende insecten.
Verschillende geleedpotigen fungeren als vector in de overdracht van F. tularensis.
In Centraal- en Noord-Europa wordt de bacterie voornamelijk overgedragen door verschillende soorten teken, waarbij
Dermacentor reticulatus en Ixodes ricinus de belangrijkste vectoren vormen.
De afgelopen jaren is de belangstelling voor tularemie wereldwijd toegenomen.
F. tularensis is biologisch stabiel en overleeft lang buiten de gastheer,...
