title: Actinobacillosis in free-ranging snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) from Alaska.
abstract: Actinobacillus capsulatus was isolated from lung, liver, and/or spleen tissue of three snowshoe hares (Lepus americanus) in Alaska. This is the first report of the isolation of this bacterium from free-ranging hares. Actinobacillus capsulatus may have a negative impact on the population density of hares.
