Antibodies to Francisella tularensis in the snowshoe hare ( Lepus americanus struthopus) populations of Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island and in the moose ( Alces alces americana Clinton) population of Nova Scotia

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 t...
