TY - JOUR AU - Origgi, Francesco AU - König, Barbara AU - Lindholm, Anna AU - Mayor, Désirée AU - Pilo, Paola T1 - Tularemia among Free-Ranging Mice without Infection of Exposed Humans, Switzerland, 2012 T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2015 VL - 21 IS - 1 SP - 133 SN - 1080-6059 AB - The animals primarily infected by Francisella tularensis are rapidly consumed by scavengers, hindering ecologic investigation of the bacterium. We describe a 2012 natural tularemia epizootic among house mice in Switzerland and the assessment of infection of exposed humans. The humans were not infected, but the epizootic coincided with increased reports of human cases in the area.
