Culture and serological results obtaidut during a 5-week field study on anthrax in the Etosha National Park are presented. With one exception - a water sample from a natural fountain - Bacillus anthracis was only isolated from animal specimens or environmental samples associated with animals known to have or suspected of having died of anthrax and no environmental 'reservoir' for the bacterium could be identified. A preliminary serological survey indicated that naturally acquired anthrax specific antibody is rare ijn herbivores but common in carnivores in the park with titres in lions reflecting the degree of anthrax activity in their ranges
