Abstract
Francisella tularensis
causes the deadly zoonotic disease tularemia in humans and is able to infect a broad range of organisms including arthropods, which are thought to play a major role in
Francisella
transmission. However, while mammalian
in vitro
and
in vivo
infection models are widely used to investigate
Francisella
pathogenicity, a detailed characterization of the major
Francisella
virulence factor, a noncanonical type VI secretion system (T6SS), in an arthropod
in vivo
infection model is missing.
