TL;DR: In this paper, the authors investigated whether mosquitoes acquire the bacterium as aquatic larvae and transmit the disease as adults in a Swedish area where tularaemia is endemic (Orebro) and found that F. tularensis subsp. holarctica was transmitted to 58% of the adult mosquitoes feeding on diseased mice.
