Susceptibility of reservoir small mammalian species to the infection by F. tularensis

Original language description

Tularaemia is a re-emerging zoonosis of natural nidality maintained by small mammalian species, in particular. By means of experimental infection we compared the susceptibility of the house mouse (Mus musculus), common vole (Microtus arvalis) and yellow-necked fieldmouse (Apodemus flavicollis) to the infection by Francisella tularensis. Experimental animals were inoculated by intraperitoneal injection of 310 bacterial cells and studied regarding the survival time and differential leukocyte count. The mean survival in the house mouse, common vole and yellow-necked fieldmouse was 4.25, 6 and 4 days, respectively. Bacteremia was present in blood smears of all common voles and one yellow-necked fieldmouse prior to death. The differential leukocyte count could be characterised by neutrophilia initially, subsequent neutropenia and lymphocytosis. The results demonstrate that the yellow-necked fieldmouse is even more susceptible to the infection by F. tularensis than the house mouse and that t
