group of researchers in the monitoring of tularemia in the wild rabbit
populations in the western part of Macedonia (FYROM). This study
was conducted in 2014-2017. The European brown hare (Lepus
europaeus) plays an important role as reservoirs of Francisella
tularensis infection. Samples are taken from different villages of
Macedonia such as: Debresh, Nerove, Allbance, Presille, Bellushine,
Haracine, Tearce . etc. In order to study the prevalence of Francisella
tularensis infection we designed a longitudinal study in hares based
on both agglutination test and histopathological results. During the
two years, 280 blood samples were collected from the wild rabbit population which were subjected to the serological test, resulting in a
total of 27 positive samples for tularemia presence. Out of these
samples were internal organs, such as kidneys, melts, spleen, lungs,
testicles, and bone marrow. These samples were evaluated for
pathological changes and possible lesions. The results obtained are
reflected in this article. Partial results of the study were presented and
published in several regional scientific journals. The study of
tularemia in the wild rabbit population in this region is the first of its
kind and was conducted in terms of a doctoral study. It gives a very
important information on this zoonotic disease and has value not only
in veterinary but also in public health.
