ANTHRAX GLOBAL EPIZOOTOLOGY. 1. SUSCEPTIBLE ANIMALS by Makhamat Nguerabe Yamtitina, V. V. Makarov

“…Anthrax affects mammals of 19 species: mostly cattle, which are intermediate hosts and hosts in the global parasitoid system; sheep and goats, horses, pigs, many species of wild ruminants and herbivorous, mostly deer, gazelles, bisons, hippopotamuses and even elephants, as well as Carnivora. Herbivorous endemic animals play the main role in maintenance of natural (soil) foci of anthrax and provide infectious cycles and regular recontamination of the soil – the only reservoir of infection. …”
