Francisella noatunensis subs. orientalis is the aetilogic agent of a systemic granulomatous disease of cultured Nile tilapia (Oreochromis niloticus). The outbreaks of franciselosis cause high mortality rates in farms, mainly in Nile tilapia fingerlings and juveniles. This emergent disease has recently been described in Americas, Europe, and Asia.

诺坦弗朗西斯菌东方亚种（Francisella noatunensis subs. orientalis）是养殖尼罗罗非鱼（Oreochromis niloticus）全身性肉芽肿病的致病原（etiologic agent）。弗朗西斯菌病（franciselosis）的暴发会导致养殖场均出现高死亡率，其中尤以尼罗罗非鱼苗及幼鱼群体受影响最为严重。该新发传染病近期已在美洲、欧洲及亚洲被相继报道。
