“…Various mammalian species have been implicated as sources of contamination in numerous drinking water outbreaks. Animals cited include mice (Meric et al 2010, Jellison et al 1950), lemmings (Berdal et al 2000, Mair et al 1973), rats (Şencan et al 2009, Gürcan et al 2004, Arikan et al 2003, Pollitzer 1967); and voles (Nordahl et al 1993, Hoel et al 1991, Dahlstrand et al 1971). In the former Soviet Union, drinking water contaminated by infected rodent carcasses was reported to account for more than 20% of all tularemia cases (Pollitzer 1967).…”

Francisella tularensis, the causative agent of tularemia, can be spread by a variety of routes. Contaminated drinking water can serve as one of the means of transmission. The organism is of concern both as a cause of naturally occurring disease and as a potential agent of bioterrorism. This review article summarizes information on drinking water outbreaks, sources of contamination, and the detection and persistence of this bacterial pathogen in the aquatic environment. Information is provided on the adequacy of disinfection processes for controlling the organism in potable water supplies.
