Description: Veterinarian and newly collared zebra at sunset, Etosha National Park, Namibia. Veterinarian Mark Jago and other staff of the Namibian Ministry of Environment and Tourism assist our researchers in the immobilization, collaring and sampling of plains zebra (Equus quagga) for our research on the ecology of episodic anthrax outbreaks. In Etosha, anthrax outbreaks occur annually during the late wet season and most observed cases are from plains zebra.
