Russia- Anthrax in Horse Meat
3 August 2010
The Moscow Times [edited] [ProMed]
One man has died and 5 others have been hospitalized after contracting anthrax from a farm that supplied horse meat for pelmeni sold in Moscow and other regions. All 6 victims fell ill after being hired to cut the meat from diseased animals. It is thought that the horses started dying at the farm in June, 2010, but the farm owner hid the deaths. It is estimated that 2.5 tons of horse meat with anthrax were supplied to a prominent pelmeni producer. The meat has been confiscated, as were shipments of the company's pelmeni.

The Ministry of Emergencies in Kazakhstan has reported that a second person has died from anthrax in the Pavlodar oblast of Kazakhstan. The cause of the anthrax outbreak was the slaughtering of a sick bull and distribution of its beef to the residents of two villages. The man who slaughtered the bull became ill on June 11th 2010. He was transported to the hospital June 19th in poor condition and died the next day. Following his death, several other people were hospitalized, including the woman who died recently. Five more patients with confirmed anthrax are still in the hospital. The 80 contact persons in the two villages are all receiving preventive antibiotics. The country’s sanitary services destroyed several kilograms of the contaminated beef.
