Table 1 Opportunistically observed species contributions to anthrax cases and species main anthrax seasons in Etosha National Park, Namibia and Kruger National Park, South Africa for study species. Anthrax mortality from central Etosha 1976–2014 and northern Kruger 1990–2015 were retrieved from published data used in Huang et al. [35]. Because host compositions in Kruger varied temporally, this table shows the species contributions for the entire period and the period with a recent outbreak (2010–2015). Species contributions are likely biased against smaller species, and these species are ordered based on increasing body mass (Additional file 2: Table S5). Though wildebeest may be affected by anthrax in Kruger, they are rarely present at the highest incidence region in the park (Pafuri)
