Changing patterns of human anthrax in Azerbaijan during the post-Soviet and preemptive livestock vaccination eras.
We assessed spatial and temporal changes in the occurrence of human anthrax in Azerbaijan during 1984 through 2010. Data on livestock outbreaks, vaccination efforts, and human anthrax incidence during Soviet governance, post-Soviet governance, preemptive livestock vaccination were analyzed. To evalu...
