Tularemia (deer fever), a zoonotic acute infectious disease characterized by the formation of inflammatory infiltrates and ulcers on the mucous membranes, lymphadenopathy, fever, and in case of lung damage - cough, shortness of breath, hemoptysis, and general toxic-septic phenomena.

An infectious disease, an obligate zoonotic infection from the group of intestinal infectious diseases transmitted to humans through contact with rodents infected with bubonic tularemia. Caused by the gram-negative bacterium Francisella tularensis. Previously, closely related bacteria F. holarctica, F. kirtlandii and F. solida were classified as this species, but now they are isolated as independent species, and the species group Yersinia pestis, which is closer to F. tularensis, is sown from the microbiota of some species of mosquitoes of the genus Culex.
