5 claimsZambia DMMU said 46 hippos, eight elephants, five buffaloes and one crocodile have died in Munyamadzi Game Management Area, Muchinga province, since July.
Twelve people have been infected after consuming meat from dead wildlife in Munyamadzi River area; no human deaths reported and all 12 receiving treatment.
DMMU coordinator Norman Chipakupaku warned the biggest risk is infected meat being smuggled out; multidisciplinary team deployed, checkpoints and roadblocks set up.
Chipakupaku said carcasses ended up being eaten by local people because that is what they depend on for food.
Authorities suspended hunting in the affected area and urged public not to consume, sell, distribute or handle meat from animals that died suddenly or from suspected anthrax.
