  • Title: [Isolation of the causative agent of tularemia from Siberian lemmings in Eastern Taymyr].
    Author: Egorova LS, Il'in VA, Algazin IP, Mal'kov GB.
    Journal: Zh Mikrobiol Epidemiol Immunobiol; 1975 Jun; (6):128-32. PubMed ID: 239505.
    Abstract:
    The authors present the results of bacteriological and serological study for tularemia of 498 lemmings caught in Taimyr. Positive results were revealed in 4 out of 98 sera examined in the indirect hemagglutination test. In carrying out 67 biological tests on albino mice there were isolated for the first time in the Soviet Union 6 cultures of the causative agent of tularemia from the spleen of lemmings. By morphological, cultural and virulent properties the cultures obtained failed to differ from those isolated in other regions of the Soviet Union, and, consequently, we referred to the holoarctic race. Thus, it was established by the authors (both serologically and bacteriologically) that there existed tundra foci of tularemia.
