Tularemia in the United States was examined by reviewing 106 Francisella tularensis isolates, mostly from Nebraska, collected during 1998-2012: 48% of Nebraska cases were cat-associated; 7/8 human cases were caused by subtype A.I. A vaccine is needed to reduce feline-associated tularemia, and cat owners should protect against bites/scratches and limit their pet's outdoor access.
通过回顾1998年至2012年期间收集的106株土拉弗朗西斯菌分离株(大部分来自内布拉斯加州),对美国的兔热病进行了研究:内布拉斯加州48%的病例与猫有关;8例人类病例中有7例由A.I.亚型引起。需要一种疫苗来减少与猫相关的兔热病,猫主人应防止被猫咬伤/抓伤,并限制宠物的户外活动。
