among 39 participants in a hare hunt in Hesse, Germany. Previously reported tularemia outbreaks in Germany dated back to the 1950s. We conducted a retrospective cohort study among participants and investigated the environment to identify risk factors for infection. Ten participants had serologic evidence of acute Francisella tularensis infection; 1 other participant died before laboratory confi rmation was obtained. Presence within 5 meters of the place where disemboweled hares were rinsed with a water hose was the risk factor most strongly associated with infection (risk ratio 22.1; 95 % confi dence interval 13.2–154.3). Swabs taken at the game chamber and water samples were PCR negative for F. tularensis. Eleven of 14 hare parts showed low-level concentrations of F. tularensis, compatible with cross-contamination. More than half of case-patients may have acquired infection through inhalation of aerosolized droplets containing F. tularensis generated during rinsing of infected hares. In the last 50 years, few laboratory-confirmed outbreaks of airborne tularemia have been described. They include outbreaks in workers in sugar cane factories in Ukraine, the Czech Republic, and Austria (1–3); farmers in Sweden and Finland (4,5); and residents of the island of Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, USA (6). Small clusters and outbreaks with probable common source exposure may have been associated with disturbance of contaminated animal carcasses (7–9) and dogs with contaminated fur shaking themselves inside houses (10,11). In Germany, tularemia is |
