Methods For these purposes we compared the development of an array of biochemical parameters measured in blood plasma using standard procedures of dry chemistry as well as electrochemical devices following a subcutaneous infection with a wild Francisella tularensis subsp. holarctica strain a single dose of X 109 CFU pro toto . Results Subcutaneous inoculation of a single dose with X 109 colony forming units of a wild F. tularensis strain pro toto resulted in the death of two out of five hares. Plasma chemistry profiles were examined on days 2 to 35 post-infection. When compared to controls the total protein urea lactate dehydrogenase aspartate aminotransferase and alanine aminotransferase were increased while albumin glucose and amylase were decreased. Both uric and ascorbic acids and glutathione dropped on day 2 and then increased significantly on days 6 to 12 and 6 to 14 post-inoculation respectively. There was a two-fold increase in lipid peroxidation on days 4 to 8 post-inoculation. Conclusions Contrary to all expectations the present study demonstrates that the European brown hare shows relatively low susceptibility to tularemia. Therefore the circumstances of tularemia in hares under natural conditions should be further studied. Background Tularemia is considered a re-emerging zoonosis 1-3 that is .
