Anthrax — Canada
Saskatchewan Agriculture is reminding producers to be on the lookout for anthrax in their animals after confirmation that anthrax has been found in the RM of South Qu’Appelle no. 157. Anthrax was confirmed by laboratory results on 7 Jul 2021 as the cause of death in one animal in a flock of sheep. It is the suspected cause of death of 4 additional sheep on the same premises.
Anthrax is caused by the bacteria _Bacillus anthracis_, which can survive in spore form for decades in soil. Changes
