A five-year ecological study of the largest tularemia natural focus in Croatia (Yugoslavia) has revealed that the focus is of a meadow-field type and that the common vole is the crucial member of the local tularemia pathobiocenosis. The occurrence of epizootics and of concomitant epidemics is associated with the bionomy of the latter which, in its turn, is strongly influenced by environmental factors. It was possible therefore to link tularemia outbreaks with special meteorological and hydrological conditions, i.e. with warm and dry spring-summer seasons and the Sava river floods. The proper understanding of the underlying ecological laws furnishes a sound basis for the forecasts of future epidemiological events.
对克罗地亚（南斯拉夫）最大的土拉菌病自然疫源地进行的一项为期五年的生态学研究表明，该疫源地属于草甸-田野型，普通田鼠是当地土拉菌病病理生物群落的关键成员。 epizootics和伴随的流行病的发生与后者的生物习性有关，而后者又受到环境因素的强烈影响。因此，有可能将土拉菌病的爆发与特殊的气象和水文条件联系起来，即温暖干燥的春夏季节和萨瓦河洪水。对潜在生态规律的正确理解为预测未来的流行病学事件提供了坚实的基础。
