Summary, etc. | Anthrax has long been enzootic in South West Africa/ Namibia. Ecological studies in the Etosha National Park - that is, studies relating in the incidence of the disease in defidut areas to conditions characteristic of or peculiar to those areas - have led to the belief that gravel pits resulting from excavations of gravel for roads are related in major way to the incidence of anthrax. The microbiological reasons for an association between gravel pits and the incidence of anthrax have not been properly elucidated and the microecology of Bacillus anthracis in these artificial waters holes, natural water holes and the soils of the Park is almost totally unknown. Attempts to control anthrax empirically by approaches such as chlorination of the artificial holes have met with little success; the disease continues to be a major problem in the Etosha National Park |
