Clinical features of tularemia in cats: a retrospective study from 2000 to 2021
This study provides a more comprehensive description of tularemia in cats than has been available to date. In particular, leukopenia and neutropenia are significantly associated with tularemia-positive cats. These clinical features should be considered and raise suspicion for tularemia in cats. These findings may be valuable for the timely diagnosis, treatment and prevention of tularemia outbreaks in cats and humans.
