The genotypes were MLVA type 57 and <jats:italic>pagA<\/jats:italic> genotype I. Combined with the field epidemiological data, the four cutaneous anthrax cases most likely were caused by butchering of the sick cow. Backward tracing of animal cases identified the region of origin, and some public health measures, such as reactive or preventative animal vaccination for cattle, intersectoral cooperation, ensuring proper pre-slaughter inspection, and educating butchers and villagers about this disease, could be used to prevent <jats:italic>B. anthracis<\/jats:italic> infection.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4269\/ajtmh.13-0633","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,8]],"date-time":"2014-07-08T05:00:12Z","timestamp":1404795612000},"page":"574-576","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Molecular
