Tularemia or rabbit fever or deer fly fever is a rare infectious disease caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis, which affects skin, eyes, lymph nodes and lungs. Tularemia is transmitted from animals such as rodents, rabbits, and hares to human. It can also affect sheep, birds, dogs, cats, etc. The routes of acquiring infection are direct exposure to the bacteria, airborne infections, insect bites, and bite of an infected animal. Tularemia is highly contagious and had been used as a biological weapon by many countries such as United States of America and Soviet Union. Ulceroglandular tularemia is the most common form of Tularemia.

Tularemia symptoms include swollen and painful lymph glands, fever, chills, headache, fatigue, eye swelling, pain and light sensitivity, diarrhea, pneumonia etc. If it left untreated, it will cause serious complications such as enlarged spleen, enlarged liver, infection around the brain and spinal cord, irritation around the heart (pericarditis), bone infection etc. and may lead to the death.

Factors favouring the spread of Tularemia infection are tick bites, exposure to sick or dead animals, especially, wild game. Travel to certain regions such as Arkansas, Missouri and Oklahoma can also cause Tularemia infection because of the concentration of ticks in those areas. Tick bite is the leading cause for an occurrence of large number of cases.Laboratory workers working with tularemia are at risk of airborne infection due to greater chances of exposure to the pathogen. Tularemia infection can also be airborne during gardening, construction or other activities, which may lead to pneumonic tularemia. Tularemia is also contracted by eating undercooked meat of an infected animal or drinking contaminated water. According to Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, overall mortality of Tularemia is less than 2% but ranges up to 24% depending on the strain.
