KU researchers return from Alaska tularemia field study
Four KU scientists completed a summer expedition to Alaska under an Air Force contract to investigate tularemia. They collected mammals, birds, ticks, and tissue samples from Kotzebue to the Yukon, sending specimens to Dr. Downs in Lawrence for testing, with results showing no active tularemia in samples but high prior exposure among Alaska residents. The group faced rugged travel, bears, and remote camps, and plans for next summer include continued ticks and muskrat sampling.
