ON THE ROLE OF CAMELS IN THE EPIDEMIOLOGY OF ANTHRAX,

Abstract

In Central Asia camels are apt to become infected with anthrax. This fact must be borne in mind by veterinarians as well as medical workers. An infected camel may become a source of an epidemic of anthrax among humans. With the cutaneous form of anthrax, in certain instances, multiple cutaneous lesions may occur due to various ways of infection. (Author)
