A sero‐epidemiological study of F. tularensis infection has been performed in school children and hunters in some districts of Norway. The results have revealed a considerable incidence of such infection in certain districts as judged by the chosen criteria. The study has offered an opportunity to develop a modification of a slide agglutination technique suitable for the screening of large numbers of serum samples.
