SUMMARY OF THE THESIS

STUDY OF ANTHRAX FOCI IN KHENTII AIMAG

Anthrax is a zoonosis showing the signs such as septicemia, boil, swelling and
hemorrhagic inflammation. B. anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax belongs to

genus Bacillus of family Bacillaceae within the domain Eubacterialis. B. anthracis is
non-motile, rod-shaped, Gram-positive, endospore-forming aerobic bacterium with a

length of 5-6 µm and a width of 1.0-1.5 µm. Because the causative agent of the

disease is used as a very dangerous biological warfare weapon, more detailed
studies are now being performed at international level.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

In last years occurrences of anthrax infections are not decreasing and new natural
foci have been detected and reported. A total of 1294 cases of animal anthrax were

reported in 94 soums of 9 aimags, while 143 human cases of anthrax in 56 soums of

16 aimags between 2009 and 2014. Enormous expenditures for putting quarantine
during the disease outbreaks, vaccination of livestock populations, related curative

and preventive treatments, sterilization and disinfection in association with the
increase of incidence of the disease from year to year, are causing huge losses in

the country’s economy. Therefore, the research on anthrax foci is essentially
important for producing database and topographical map of the disease foci and

prevention and control of the anthrax.

AIM OF THE STUDY

More detailed investigation of anthrax foci in Khentii aimag, characterization of the
causative agent and evaluation of the foci are major aim this study and the following

objectives were propounded.

Objectives of the study

1.To collect and analyze the data of anthrax infections occurred in Khentii aimag and
produce focal mapping;
