Among farm animals, sheep appear to be the most susceptible to hare fever.

Twente observed increased mortality in hares. In the meantime, 4 hares were sent from the region to the Dutch Wildlife Health Center (DWHC). The hare is known to be a nuisance hare (tularemia). The other 3 hares are still under investigation.

The most sensitive sheep

The Hazenpest is transmitted from one animal to another and from one animal to another. For the moment, it is not known whether farm animals are susceptible to hare fever in Europe (type B), reports Wageningen University & Research (WUR). However, WUR reports that sheep appear to be the most sensitive, with a clinical picture resembling biliary disease (pseudotuberculosis). In humans, the disease is usually transmitted by insects, with ulcers accompanied by fever being typical symptoms. Increased vigilance is required.

Sometimes a Hazen infection has been diagnosed since 2013

The hare pest appears to have returned to the Netherlands in the past 5 years. Since 2013, the disease is sometimes diagnosed, says pathologist Marja Kik from the Faculty of Veterinary Medicine at the University of Utrecht and the Dutch Wildlife Health Center. The disease has not been observed for 60 years.
In the provinces of Friesland, Overijssel, Utrecht and Limburg, some cases occurred in the provinces of Friesland, Overijssel, Utrecht and Limburg.
Antibiotics
Humans can also contract the hare fever and die according to the expert without antibiotics. With timely treatment, there is no need to worry. The infection can pass from animal to human, but not from human to human.
Sick animals hide
The size of the hare is difficult to estimate because dying animals hide and do not die after death. seen. Yet hunters and nature managers find dead animals. They also report that they see fewer hares in some areas.
Nine hunters are sick in Germany
Hare plague has also been reported in a few other European countries. In Germany, after the hare fever, nine hunters had to be treated simultaneously at the hospital.
Contact contamination with a sick animal
Contamination can occur through contact with a sick or dead hare, by an insect bite, or by sniffing contaminated particles. Ulcers, inflammation of the lymph nodes, fever and flu-like symptoms may indicate the disease.
Fewer and fewer rabbits seen
Rabbits are also less common in the landscape. They have also been suffering for some time from the return of myxomatosis, a macroscopic disease of the rabbit, as well as viral haemorrhagic disease or VHD2, which is also fatal, but does not cause an agony as long and intense as myxomatosis. The man does not get sick of these rabbit ailments.
