ABSTRACT: Anthrax, caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis, is a zoonotic disease that persists throughout much of the world in livestock, wildlife, and secondarily infects humans. This is true across much of Central Asia, and particularly the Steppe region, including Kazakhstan. This study employed the Genetic Algorithm for Rule-set Prediction (GARP) to model the current and future geographic distribution of B. anthracis in Kazakhstan based on the A2 and B2 Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) Special Report on Emissions Scenarios (SRES) climate change scenarios using a 5-variable dataset at 55km2 and 8km2, a 6-variable Bioclimatic (BioClim) dataset at 8km2, and an 8-variable dataset using BioClim and measures of vegetation at 8km2. Additionally, extracting landscape level ecological ranges of B. anthracis may help to better understand the conditions predicted by the models. Two studies have indicated that GARP produces useful biological information and through examining the rule-sets created by GARP, we can develop a more robust explanation as to why the species is present in some areas and absent in others. Through the use of the rule-set writing and mapping application of GARP, the study also examined the ranges of various parameters and how these ranges differed at varying latitudes.
