Results showed a higher prevalence of anthrax antibodies in the triangle region, yet relatively high positivity rates in all of the samples, which indicated exposure occurring in feral swine throughout Texas due to anthrax-causing bacteria, including outside of the high-outbreak anthrax triangle zone.
