Anthrax. The deaths of four black rhinoceroses (Diceros bicornis) in the Lake Manyara National Park during an anthrax outbreak in 1984 have been reported. Two black rhinoceroses were reported to have died in the Etosha National Park in Namibia in the period 1984-1987. Four free-ranging black rhinoceroses in the Etosha National Park were shown to have antibody titres to anthrax. However, these animals had been vaccinated a few months prior to the collection of serum samples. No deaths from anthrax have been reported from the Kruger National Park.
