title: [Occurrence of natural tularemia foci in Kamchatka].
abstract: The focus of tularemia in the Ust-Kamchatsky region belongs probably to the flood-plain and swamp type with muskrats and tundra voles being the main carriers. In autumn 1980 for the first time three cultures were isolated in this region: 1 from a tundra vole and 2 from muskrats. The presence of antibodies to tularemia antigen in Norway rats was revealed in the passive hemagglutination test.
