This is the respectivly survey on results of the laboratory testing for anthrax of specimens from domestic ruminants, pigs, deers and roes (a total number = 27,803) and humans (n = 62). Data indicate that in 30 settlements of the region a total of 64 samples from cattle (n = 16), goats (n = 9), sheep (n = 7), pigs (n = 2) and humans (n = 28) have been positive for anthrax. Relatively the highest morbidity is established in goats. Sporadic anthrax with marked summer seasonality are typical in the area.
