Caption:
This photograph was captured during a tularemia field study and depicts a mass of tangled vegetation composed of bitterbrush, Purshia tridentata, a plant native to the mountainous regions of western North America. P. tridentata commonly serves as protective habitat for rodents that play an important role in the vector-borne transmission cycle of the bacterium responsible for tularemia, Francisella tularensis.
