Tularemia:
Francisella tularensis is a contagious disease that affects many animals, especially rabbits and mice, as well as dogs and cats. It can also spread to humans. Infection is caused by insects (ticks and mosquitoes) fed to an infected animal. Infection can also be caused by direct contact with the secretions or flesh of infected animals by inhalation or ingestion of the causative bacteria.
Clinical symptoms in cats:
• Clinical symptoms in cats begin with fever, loss of appetite and formation of lymph nodes.
• Oral ulcers.
• liver inflammation.
Intestinal inflammation.
- The severity of the disease is mild to fatal.
- Dogs are relatively resistant to rabbit fever disease than cats.
- For farm animals, sheep are the most affected by the disease, clinically suffering from a high temperature, lymph glands, diarrhea and death. While serological studies have shown the presence of the disease in cows at a high rate but under sub-acute.
