💨 Abstract

Approximately 50 hippos have died from anthrax poisoning in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, near Lake Edward. Anthrax, a resilient bacterium that can survive in soil for decades, is believed to have spread among grazing animals. The park officials are recovering and burying the dead animals to prevent further spread. Locals are advised to avoid wildlife and boil water.
