RESUMO
Background: Last years increased the human and animal cases of anthrax. During 2000-2009 infected 197 livestock of them 73 cattles, 7 horses, 13 goats and 104 sheep and 10 human cases of anthrax at Khentii province. Goal: We are aimed to evaluate human and animal cases of anthrax which registered at Khentii province last 10 years.Materials and methods: Used for registration of veterinary report of 2000-2009, last 10 years report of human cases of CIDNF Khentii province. Analyzed the data, compared and evaluated the result of human and animal anthrax cases. Results: The Khentii province included at zone of middle risk, active foci by classification of anthrax risk foci (Tserendorj and et all, 2006). Totally 1148 livestock infected by anthrax during 2000-2009 in national level and of them 17.1% registered at Khentii province. Infected 10 patient during 2000-2009 occurred 12.7 % than national level. Most of patients 95.2% (16) infected by used the skin, meat with died from anthrax. The 4.8% (1) of all patients infected from soil which work at soil. All patients infected by bubonic form. Last 2007, 2008,2009 disinfected at soil and decreased the detection of cultures or positive results from soil.Conclusion: The high risk of human anthrax depends on most likely from animals and soils. Herders take more risks due to their job specialization. Male workers of working age groups are generally infected by anthrax in particular. Especially assistant workers in agriculture and mining sectors are extra vulnerable in anthrax. The new areas have been infected by the virus of human and animal anthraxes because of increases of animal movement from place to place. The reasons of animal movement are number of people working in commercial and hand operated gold mining, herders movement to another area for looking pasture (otor) and growing number of celebration activities (Batshireet, Norovlin soum in 2007).
