摘要
We investigated the genotypes of Francisella tularensis (F. tularensis) strains isolated in Poland during the period 1953–2013 and studied their genetic relationship to F. tularensis strains isolated in other countries using MLVA. We examined the mosquito and tick samples collected in Poland for the presence of F. tularensis DNA using PCR. Our results revealed a high genetic diversity among the strains of F. tularensis collected from Poland, suggesting that the bacterium is commonly found in the environment. However, we did not detect F. tularensis DNA in ticks and mosquitoes, showing that the arthropod bites might not be the main source of infection.
