In late June 2007, the Epidemiological Surveillance Network in Castilla y León, northern Spain, reported a series of cases in a rural area in the province of Palencia and in the provincial capital city of León, labelled as “fever of unknown origin”. Subsequent epidemiological investigation confirmed an outbreak of tularaemia.
