In Istanbul, the largest city in Turkey, an anthrax suspect was infected with both humans and livestock.

Early epidemiologic studies have estimated that after eating infected meat, they moved.

A total of 22 suspected anthrax patients were seen in two general hospitals in Istanbul on Sunday (January 1), according to official Anar Dolu correspondent and news channel CNN Turk.

Sixteen of the 22 suspects were discharged from hospital after being diagnosed with no particular problems, but six are being treated for anthrax.

Some Turkish media reported that 14 were discharged and 8 were receiving treatment.

Patients who are presumed to be anthrax have been shown to have infectious skin-specific inflammation, but not life-threatening.

Health authorities have conducted epidemiological studies and found that they ate slaughtered meat in the Silivri area.

Authorities are continuing to conduct epidemiologic investigations to determine the exact cause of the infection and to vaccinate 3,500 livestock in areas suspected of being infected.

At the end of last month, 50 of the 4,000 sheep from Brazil who were slaughtered in the Ankara region were found to have been infected with anthrax.

Anthrax is a common infectious disease that infects both herbivores and humans such as cattle, sheep and sheep. The disease itself is well known by antibiotics, but toxins produced by anthrax can be fatal to trace amounts and can be used as biological weapons.

In 2001, a week after the Sept. 11 attacks in the United States, several mailings containing anthrax toxins were delivered, leaving the United States to terrorize the "Antarctic Terror."
