Abstract

Tularemia is a zoonotic infection caused by the bacteria Francisella Tularensis. It is a small, fastidious, non-spore- forming aerobic gram negative coccobacillus which in addition to humans affects more than a 100 animal species particularly ground squirrels, rabbits, hares, voles and muskrat.
