Description
Summary:The purpose of this study is to gain information pertaining to the ecology and epidemiology of two organisms in the Tanana Valley, Alaska. One of these organisms, Coxietta burnetii, which causes the disease commonly known as Q fever, is known to have a complex epidemiology throughout vast portions of the world. Little, if anything, has been reported concerning its occurrence in arctic and subarctic areas, particularly in Alaska. The second organism, Francisella tularensis, the etiological agent of tularemia, is also known to have a broad distribution, but more is known of its occurrence in subaractic and arctic regions. In recent years various investigators have published data pertaining to tularemia organisms in Alaska.
