TULAREMIA
"Rabbit Fever"
From State Board of Health
Tularemia is a disease which is
found in the ground squirrels of
California and Utah, the jack rab
bit of the west and the cotton tail
rabbits of the east The disease is
caused by a specific organism-
Bacterium tularense, named after
Tulare county In California. The
first human case was reported in
1911 in Utah. The rabbit louse or
rabbit tick may operate in the
transmission from animal to ani
mal. Transmission to man is by the
blood-sucking fly in Utah and in ad
joining states by the wood-tick Der
macentor Venustus. The disease
may also be contracted by direct
contact with the internal organs of
infected rabbits in handling for
market, cooking, and other pur
poses. Despite precautions, prac
tically all laboratory workers work
ing with bacterium tularense have
developed the disease.
In rabbits the spleen and liver
are enlarged, studded over the sur
face with globular white nodules
ranging from a size barely visible
in direct sunlight to the size of a
pin's head.
The average Incubation period is
three days. The onset Is sudden, oc
curring while the patient is at
work, and is manifested by head
aches, chills, bodily pain, vomiting,
prostration, fever and sweating, and
often abdominal disturbances and
tendencies. In cases that are caus
ed by fly bites or tick bites the
lymph glands which are tender and
enlarged are painful. The gland
speedily breaks down discharging
a cone which leaves an ulcer about
3-8 of an Inch in diameter with rais
ed edges having a punched-out ap
pearance. The fever lasts for two
or three weeks. Convalescence is
slow. The patient finally recovers
without evident complications, al
though some have not recovered to
normal health for six months, even
a year.
Tularemia is suggested by a his
tory of having dressed a rabbit, or
handled the Internal organs of a
wild rabbit or having been bit by
a tick or fly followed by a persis
tent ulcer. The final diagnosis of
tularemia rests on an agglutination
of bacterium tularense by blood se
rum. Since agglutinins are absent
from the blood in the first week of
illness, a negative report from the
laboratory should not be accepted
unless serum collected as late as
the fourteenth day of illness has
been tested.

Oregon Cooperatives
Both Strong and Weak
Oregon State College, Corvallls,
April 17. In Oregon there are 135
cooperative marketing and purchas
ing organizations now doing busi
ness, finds George O. Gatlin, exten
sion specialist In marketing, who
has just completed a study of such
concerns in the state. Of these 90
are separate selling organizations,
39 are local units of central organi
zations and 12 are associations de
voted largely to purchasing.
Mr. Gatlin found some of the
strongest and best organized asso
ciations in this state and also some
of the weakest He believes the
number of organizations in relation
to total volume of business Is far
too large and that new conditions
of close competition demand fewer
organizations in strong hands with
a wider reach and more adequate
financing.
