The second case of Tularemia in a hare, also known as 'rabbit fever', in Akershus county in the course of a few months was confirmed this week. Analysis and autopsy performed at the National Veterinary Institute confirmed the diagnosis.
Tularemia can be transferred to humans, and the public is advised not to touch dead or sick animals in the wild or drink untreated water.
