The bacteria can easily enter through the abrasion or small wounds and then they can form ulcers on the spot. It can also enter into the eyes while rubbing and leading to ocular type tularemia.
- Airborne Bacteria - Bacteria present in the soil which can be inhaled during construction, physical activities and gardening as well. The inhalation of the bacteria can result in pneumonia.
