The 1997-2005 tularemia outbreak in Bulgaria affected 285 people. Ten strains were isolated from humans, a tick, a hare, and water. Amplified fragment length polymorphism typing of the present isolates and of the strain isolated in 1962 suggests that a new genetic variant caused the outbreak.
1997年至2005年保加利亚爆发的兔热病疫情感染了285人。从人类、一只蜱虫、一只野兔和水中分离出了10株菌株。对目前分离出的菌株以及1962年分离出的菌株进行的扩增片段长度多态性分型表明,一种新的基因变体导致了此次疫情的爆发。
