Elephant Mass Death Could Be Caused by New Pathogen—with Small Risk of It Passing to Humans By Hannah Osborne On 7/14/20 at 9:55 AM EDT
What caused the mass death of hundreds of elephants in Botswana is still a mystery. While poisoning is one possibility, it has also been suggested that a new pathogen may be responsible—and the idea it could be passed to humans has been raised.
A statement from the Botswana government dated July 12 said 281 elephant carcasses had so far been found around Seronga. It said investigations into these "unexplained deaths" were ongoing. Diagnostic samples were sent to other countries for analysis. While results from Zimbabwe had been returned, the government was waiting for other countries' results before making any further announcements.
Locals reported elephants walking in circles before falling face-first to the ground. It has been suggested this is a sign of neurological impairment, potentially from a new disease.
