is a facultatively intracellular, gram-negative bacillus and a rare cause of infection in the United States. We report a case of a 45-year-old male who presented with ongoing fever, shortness of breath, and was found to have a pericardial effusion and pulmonic infiltrates due to . Though tularemia is classically associated with rabbits and rodents, we note the patient in our case had no clear infectious exposure.

Background: Francisella tularensis is an aerobic, gram negative coccobacillus bacterium that causes tularemia. F. tularensis spreads primarily through ticks, biting flies, droplet inhalation, contaminated mud or water, or infected animal bites, and it can survive in animal carcasses with the most common mode of transmission occurring via inoculation into the skin and inhalation/ingestion.

is a vector-borne zoonotic bacterium that causes tularemia, a disease of great importance for animal and public health. Although wild lagomorphs are considered one of the major reservoirs of this bacterium, information about the circulation of in European wild rabbit () and Iberian hare () populations in Europe is still very limited. In Spain, is present in northern central regions, with recurrent outbreaks occurring annually.

Key statistics on zoonoses and zoonotic agents in humans, food, animals and feed are provided and interpreted historically. In 2023, the first and second most reported zoonoses in humans were campylobacteriosis and salmonellosis, respectively.

Article Synopsis
- - Tularemia is an infectious disease that requires ongoing monitoring of both human and animal cases, along with tracking the pathogen in natural environments to effectively prevent and control outbreaks.
- - The disease is caused by a bacterium with three different subspecies, and researchers have created a new real-time PCR test that can accurately detect these subspecies and identify where they’re spreading.
- - The new PCR assay has been rigorously tested for accuracy and sensitivity, with very low limits of detection, enhancing tularemia surveillance efforts in Kazakhstan by allowing for direct detection of the pathogen in various samples.
