How many deaths has anthrax caused?

Answer 1

The number of deaths caused by anthrax varies significantly depending on outbreaks and regions over time. Historically, anthrax has resulted in thousands of deaths, particularly in areas where livestock are infected and vaccination is not practiced. In the modern era, cases are relatively rare, with a few dozen reported deaths in places like Africa and Asia. The most notable outbreak in the U.S. occurred after the 2001 bioterrorism incidents, which resulted in five deaths.
