Most often deadly, anthrax exists naturally in the soil and affects mainly livestock especially during or after the rainy seasons.
The health officer says all animal products have been banned and warned people against slaughtering animals until the ban is lifted.
The Chief Administrative Officer, Kuruhira Godfrey Akiiki, said that the muslims would be affected by the latest ban on the slaughter of animals.
Eid al-Adha is a festival of sacrifice to commemorate the willingness of Abraham to sacrifice his son Ismail as an act of obedience to God.
Sheik Ramadan Kamis Bin Salim, the district khadi, however warned the Muslims against slaughtering sick animals saying this is against the Islamic teaching.
