What is the estimated number of victims of anthrax?

There is really no way of knowing how many people have been infected with anthrax. Although the actual spore was identified in 1875, it is a quite ancient disease. It has been around long enough that it is believed to have been one of the 10 Egyptian plagues mentioned in the Old Testament of the Bible. It was also brought up during Greek mythology. Before the vaccination was developed in 1881, it was believed to have killed anywhere between hundreds to thousands of people and animals every single year. Now that number is down to a few dozen reported cases a year.
