A rare case of tularemia, also known as rabbit fever, has been diagnosed among Finnish soldiers stationed on the island of Santahamina in Helsinki. Finnish broadcaster Yle reports the soldiers likely contracted the disease through contact with infected insects. Tularemia is an uncommon infectious disease, but is not transmitted from person to person. Authorities are monitoring the situation and providing medical care to those affected. The outbreak is currently contained to the military personnel on the island. No further details regarding the number of infected soldiers have been released at this time. Health officials emphasize the low risk of wider transmission due to the nature of the disease.
