Background: The zoonotic and highly infectious pathogen Francisella tularensis is the etiological agent of tularemia. Tularemia in humans is mainly caused by F. tularensis subspecies tularensis and holarctica, but Francisella species like F.

Article Synopsis
- Tularemia, caused by the bacterium Francisella tularensis, poses a significant threat to human health but lacks extensive data on its distribution in blood-feeding arthropods.
- A study conducted in the Břeclav district in 2022 screened various hematophagous vectors, including ticks, mosquitoes, and blackflies, to check for the presence of this bacterium.
- The results revealed only two positive samples for F. tularensis subsp. holarctica, both from the tick species Dermacentor reticulatus, while no presence was found in mosquitoes or blackflies.

Article Synopsis
- - The study aimed to analyze clinical features in cats diagnosed with tularemia, comparing those with and without the disease and identifying factors that increase the chance of a tularemia diagnosis.
- - Through the analysis of medical records from 2000 to 2021, the research found that affected cats were mostly middle-aged male domestic shorthairs with outdoor access, often presenting symptoms like lethargy, anorexia, and fever, among other findings.
- - Key results indicated that leukopenia and neutropenia were significantly more common in cats with positive PCR tests for tularemia, suggesting that these blood abnormalities can be important indicators of the disease.
Incidence of hospitalizations related to Lyme disease and other tick-borne diseases using Discharge Abstract Database, Canada, 2009-2021.

Centre for Food-borne, Environmental and Zoonotic Infectious Diseases, Public Health Agency of Canada, Saint-Hyacinthe, Québec, Canada.
Article Synopsis
- - A retrospective analysis in Canada from 2009 to 2021 studied hospitalization rates for tick-borne diseases (TBDs), focusing on demographics, trends, and geographic distribution using health data from the Discharge Abstract Database (DAD).
- - Out of 1,626 hospitalizations for TBDs, the majority were Lyme disease (1,457 cases), with significant annual increases noted, particularly rising from 50 cases in 2009 to 259 in 2021.
- - Other TBDs diagnosed included rickettsiosis, tularemia, and babesiosis, with rickettsiosis showing the only increase in cases; overall, this study highlights the growing burden of TBDs and identifies populations at risk.
