Anthrax Invades Abra, Philippines

Manila Bulletin

Health officials confirmed on Saturday that 41 people have been infected with anthrax, a deadly bacterial disease notoriously used in biological warfare, after they ate the meat from two carabaos that had died from sickness in Villaviciosa town, Abra.

Dr. Myrna Cabotaje, director of the Center for Health Development (CHD) in Cordillera, said the victims were lucky that none of them died.

Cabotaje said the situation has been put under control after antibiotics were immediately distributed to the residents to mitigate the effects of the anthrax disease.

Based on the report from the National Epidemiology and Surveillance Center, which conducted a field-based investigation in the town after the reported anthrax outbreak, there were 41 confirmed cases.

Maayo gani kay natabang sila

Anthrax is a naturally-occurring disease of animals (e.g., sheep, goats, and cattle)
 caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis.

The bacteria live in the soil in many parts of the world and form protective outer coats
 called spores (hereafter called anthrax spores).

Spores are able to withstand harsh or adverse conditions that would normally kill bacteria.
Animals can get anthrax by ingesting anthrax spores from the soil.

Anthrax in animals occurs worldwide but can be controlled by vaccination of animals.
In recent years, anthrax has been reported among animals in many countries,
   and is especially common in parts of Africa, Asia, and the Middle East.

It occurs much less frequently in the United States, and animal health and inspection programs
   in the United States further help to prevent people from coming in contact
   with animals with anthrax, or the products from infected animals.

People may acquire anthrax by contact with infected animals or their products, such as hides or hair.
