Part of a series designed to calm public concern about terrorism, "Biothreat: Tularemia" addresses the risk of this disease being used as a biological weapon.

The full-color booklet provides a brief history about tularemia, how to recognize its symptoms, how it spreads, and treatment options available to the public. Seven types of tularemia are described in this booklet – Ulceroglandular, Oculoglandular, Glandular, Oropharyngeal, Pneumonic, Typhoidal and Septic Tularemia. Readers learn that terrorists are most likely to use Pneumonic, Typhoidal or Septic Tularmia as a weapon. The booklet also discusses how all known forms of this disease are treatable, yet there may be some unknown versions that can fight off the antibiotic.

Also provided in the booklet are phone numbers and Web site addresses for additional resources.
