Abstract

The article presents a study on the natural tularemia epizootic among house mice in Switzerland in 2012. The disease which is caused by Francisella tularensis is manifested in multiple foci of necrosis in spleen, liver and lung with severe vascular inflammatory infiltration and necrosis. The study finds no human infection despite exposure of researchers which suggests that shedding urine and feces of mice might prevent the transmission of the disease.

We conducted a molecular analysis of Francisella tularensis strains isolated in Switzerland and identified a specific subpopulation belonging to a cluster of F. tularensis subsp. holarctica that is widely dispersed in central and western continental Europe. This subpopulation was present before the tularemia epidemics on the Iberian Peninsula. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
