At least 30 hippos have died from anthrax in the Democratic Republic of Congo, raising concerns about potential human transmission. The outbreak was confirmed near Virunga National Park, with no human cases reported yet. Authorities are monitoring the situation and advising local communities against contact with dead animals. The bacteria can survive in soil for years, and the risk of infection for humans remains significant. Previous outbreaks have occurred in the region, and experts warn that the current situation could worsen due to environmental factors. The loss of hippos may disrupt local ecosystems.
