Yes, anthrax is caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis, which can be found naturally in soil. It primarily affects herbivorous animals, such as cattle and sheep, that ingest or inhale spores from contaminated soil or vegetation. In some regions, especially in agricultural areas, these spores can remain viable in the environment for years, posing a risk to both animals and humans. Outbreaks of anthrax can occur when animals come into contact with these spores, leading to infection.
