Tularaemia: A challenging zoonosis 2014-01-13 .txt text/plain 7827 412 40 In recent years, several emerging zoonotic vector-borne infections with potential impact on human health have been identified in Europe, including tularaemia, caused by Francisella tularensis. Recent outbreaks of tularaemia have occurred in several European countries, presented in Table 1 , including the Czech Republic, Kosovo, Bulgaria, Germany, Sweden, Finland, Spain, Turkey, France and Norway [11] [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] [17] [18] [19] [20] . The transmission of tularaemia to humans can occur either by direct contact with infected animals or indirectly due to arthropod vector bites, the ingestion of contaminated water, food or aerosols inhalation. Type A tularaemia is more commonly associated with the terrestrial cycle of the disease, with wild lagomorphs such as rabbits and hares acting as vertebrate hosts in which amplification of the agent occurs and where arthropods are disease-disseminating vectors [6, 22, 54, 57] .
