I read a book by a British veterinarian, who as a young man nearly lost his career due to his ignorance of a long-ago anthrax outbreak on a rural cattle farm. The details are not quite clear to me, but it seems to me he buried a dead cow on land that had previously been used to bury anthrax-infected cattle. The spores being viable for practically forever, the fear was that a new outbreak would occur.
I was really shocked to learn of this; apparently records of this sort are kept up to date throughout the UK, and a veterinarian is expected to be aware of the data and take great care in dealing with areas holding spores. In Japan, AUM Shinrikyo sprayed spores in parts of Tokyo; some fear the spores are lying about in this densely populated city awaiting some chance to activate.
