Abstract
Summary: Francisella tularensis is a cause of significant human infection. In endemic areas dogs may be infected with this bacterium but the subsequent disease state appears to be self-limiting. As the organism is endemic on mainland Europe, there is a risk of dogs acquiring infection from wild rodents and rabbits.
