The landmark studies on tularemia by Dr Francis have been recognized by designating the causative organism Francisella tularensis rather than Bacterium tularense. A review of his original 1925 article clearly demonstrates the lasting value of critical clinical, epidemiologic, and laboratory studies. Except for expansion of knowledge concerning some aspects of the epidemiology and clinical spectrum and advances in treatment and prevention, the 1925 article is as contemporary as the current literature and textbooks.
弗朗西斯博士关于兔热病的里程碑式研究已获认可，其方式是将致病微生物命名为土拉弗朗西斯菌而非土拉杆菌。对他1925年的原始文章进行回顾，清晰地展示了严谨的临床、流行病学和实验室研究的持久价值。除了在兔热病流行病学某些方面的知识扩充、临床范围的拓展以及治疗和预防方面的进展外，1925年的那篇文章与当前的文献和教科书一样具有时代意义。
