What is Tularemia and should you be concerned about it? You may be surprised. On today’s edition of Living The Wildlife with host and wildlife control consultant Stephen Vanstassel we discuss Tularemia. Commonly known as rabbit fever or deer fly fever, this is a rare infectious disease that typically attacks the skin, eyes, lymph nodes and lungs. Tularemia is caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis.
The disease mainly affects rabbits, hares, and rodents, such as muskrats and squirrels. In fact,Tularemia can also infect birds, sheep and domestic animals, such as dogs, cats and hamsters.
Tularemia spreads to humans in several ways, including insect bites and direct exposure to an infected animal. Tularemia is highly contagious and potentially fatal, but can usually be treated effectively with specific antibiotics if diagnosed early.
