[occurrence of natural tularemia foci in kamchatka].

the focus of tularemia in the ust-kamchatsky region belongs probably to the flood-plain and swamp type with muskrats and tundra voles being the main carriers. in autumn 1980 for the first time three cultures were isolated in this region: 1 from a tundra vole and 2 from muskrats. the presence of antibodies to tularemia antigen in norway rats was revealed in the passive hemagglutination test.
