Article Synopsis
- Tularemia is a zoonotic disease typically found in rodents, with hunters being at increased risk, and the study aimed to assess its prevalence among hunters in Northern Cyprus.
- 100 hunters from four regions in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus participated, with tests like Tube Agglutination Test (TAT) and ELISA conducted to determine their exposure to the disease.
- The study found a 17% seroprevalence of tularemia (as indicated by positive ELISA IgG tests) among hunters, suggesting a significant infection rate that warrants further epidemiological research.
