Fernando Martínez T1 - Waterborne Outbreak of Tularemia Associated with Crayfish Fishing T2 - Emerging Infectious Disease journal PY - 2001 VL - 7 IS - 7 SP - 575 SN - 1080-6059 AB - In 1997, an outbreak of human tularemia associated with hare-hunting in central Spain affected 585 patients. We describe the identification of Francisella tularensis biovar palaearctica in a second outbreak of ulceroglandular tularemia associated with crayfish (Procambarus clarkii) fishing in a contaminated freshwater stream distant from the hare-associated outbreak. The second outbreak occurred 1 year after the first.
