Soil foci of anthrax located on the territory of the republic represent a certain danger to the population and the environment. In the process of work, an epizootological examination of two anthrax foci located in the Tolebiysky and Kazygurtsky districts of the Turkestan region was carried out. For microbiological studies, soil samples were taken from the territory of these foci from the surface and from various horizons to a depth of up to 30 cm. Studies of soil samples by bacteriological and biological methods showed that they showed the absence of the pathogen B. anthracis.
