What Is Tularemia?
Tularemia is a disease that can be caught from other animals that are also infected. It cannot be spread from person to person as far as we know. Although rare, the disease is still found all over the world, especially in rural areas. This is because living in rural areas makes people more likely to come into contact with infected animals.
The disease is caused by the Francisella tularensis bacterium, and it is usually treatable. It will be fatal in a small number of cases, however, so treatment should be sought as soon as possible. It can be transmitted in different ways, and there are also different varieties of the disease.
