Abstract

A nthrax is an ancient zoonotic disease that contin- ues to threaten human and animal health. It remains enzootic in many regions of the world, and cases of anthrax among humans are frequently reported. Outbreaks occur annually among wild and domestic herbivores in North America, although this infection is no longer a substantial cause of human disease in the United States. As a result of the occurrence of anthrax worldwide, and because of its bioterrorist potential, veterinarians should understand the epidemiology, clinical signs, treatment, and control of anthrax.
