Abstract
A serological survey showed antibodies to Francisella tularensis present in 1.55% of snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus struthopus) and 1.06% of moose (Alces alces americana Clinton) sampled in Nova Scotia. No antibody-positive hares were found in Prince Edward Island, however. We believe this to be the first report of antibodies to F. tularensis in the moose.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
