District isolated after anthrax outbreak
Indonesian authorities have ordered the isolation of a district south of Jakarta after six people died from eating goat meat infected with anthrax, say officials.
"The (Agriculture) Minister ordered that Babakan Madang be put under isolation with no livestock allowed to leave or enter the area," said an Agriculture Ministry spokesman, Hari Priyono.
Six people, including five members of one family, died after eating the innards of an infected goat on October 15. Eight other people are still in hospital recovering from the disease.
Mr Priyono said that all livestock in the Babakan Madang subdistrict would be vaccinated and any animal showing symptoms of infection would be destroyed.
The Government, he said, would compensate farmers for any killed animal.

Although anthrax is endemic in parts of Indonesia it is worth bearing in mind that the Soviet Union tried to cover up the BW anthrax manufacturing accident at Sverdlosk in the early eighties, by claiming that those affected had caught the disease by eating infected meat.

Are you implying the Russians had something to do with this? Do you mean to imply that terrorists might have sprayed these goats with Anthrax or something?
I don't get it. People die from eating infected meat every single day.

I thought my meaning was obvious. Governments are sometimes quick to play down the cause of anthrax outbreaks. The Soviets did with the Sverdlosk incident, blaming infected meat for the outbreak when in fact the local military BW production plant had misplaced an air filter during a shift change. This resulted in anthrax spewing out overthe city.
The US authorities did likewise with the Florida incident. Remember how the initial official "spin" was that the initial infection in Florida was caused because the infected person was a "woodsman" and had caught the disease naturally?

How does meat become infected with anthrax?
