Sample selection with a grid provided the most complete coverage of a site. Soil samples were screened for viable\n            <jats:italic>Bacillus anthracis<\/jats:italic>\n            spores via selective culture, phenotypic analysis, and PCR.\n            <jats:italic>Bacillus anthracis<\/jats:italic>\n            spores were isolated from 28.4% of the samples. The highest concentrations of\n            <jats:italic>B. anthracis<\/jats:italic>\n            spores were found directly adjacent to fresh carcasses and invariably corresponded to locations where the soil had been saturated with body fluids escaping the carcass through either natural body orifices or holes torn by scavengers. The majority of positive samples were found within 2 m of both year-old and fresh carcasses and probably originated from scavengers churning up and spreading the body fluid-saturated soil as they fed. Trails of lesser contamination radiating from the carcasses probably resulted from spore dissemination through adhesion to scavengers and through larger scavengers dragging away disarticulated limbs. Comparison of samples from minimally scavenged and fully necropsied carcass sites revealed no statistically significant difference in the level of\n            <jats:italic>B. anthracis<\/jats:italic>\n            spore contamination. Therefore, the immediate area around a suspected anthrax carcass should be considered substantially contaminated regardless of the condition of the carcass.\n          <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1128\/aem.71.3.1610-1615.2005","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2005,3,3]],"date-time":"2005-03-03T19:19:12Z","timestamp":1109877552000},"page":"1610-1615","update-policy":"http:\/\/dx.doi.org\/10.1128\/asmj-crossmark-policy-page","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":49,"title":["Natural Dissemination of\n            <i>Bacillus anthracis<\/i>\n            Spores in Northern Canada"],"prefix":"10.1128","volume":"71","author":[{"given":"D.
