TULAREMIA, a disease of rabbits
and hares (lagomorphs), rodents,
and several other animals, is
transmissible to man. In the period 1926-
1940. Illinois had more than 3,000 reported
cases of human tularemia, about
twice as many as any of the other states.
The great majority of these Illinois cases
were traceable to contact with cottontail
rabbits. This paper deals with the relation of
human tularemia in different parts of the
state and in different years to weather, to
the abundance of rabbits, and to some other
aspects of its epidemiology. In analyzing
the information on tularemia in Illinois, the writers have made an effort to determine the methods of management which
would permit Illinois hunters to enjoy the
sport of rabbit hunting without undue risk
of infection.
