Deer fly fever, also known as tularemia or rabbit fever, is a rare infectious disease that usually attacks the lung, eyes, skin, and lymph nodes. The cause of this disease is the bacterium Francisella tularensis, a microorganism that causes disease.
Furthermore, this disease mostly influences rodents, hares, and rabbits, including squirrels and muskrats. It can also infect dogs, birds, cats, and sheep.
In addition, it can transmit to humans in many ways, such as exposure to infected animals or insect bites. It is a potentially life-threatening and highly infectious condition, yet it can often be cured with particular antibiotics if recognized early.
