Arguments

category	A string that is one of the following categories: diseases, drugs, vaccines, agents, vectors, vehicles, reservoirs, bacteria, mycobacteria, yeasts, countries, regions
item	A string of the name of the item to search. If this parameter is omitted, the function will return a dataframe representing all items and related GIDEON identification codes.
