Accepted Answer

Tularemia is commonly known as rabbit fever as it is often contracted through contact with infected rabbits or other small mammals. It can also be contracted through the bites of ticks and deer flies, handling of infected animal carcasses, or ingestion of contaminated water or food. Scarlet fever is a bacterial infection caused by group A Streptococcus, while strep throat is a type of sore throat caused by the same bacteria. Cat scratch fever, on the other hand, is caused by a bacterium called Bartonella henselae and is transmitted through scratches or bites from infected cats.
