Historical evolution of human anthrax from occupational disease to potentially global threat as bioweapon.

Environment international - 1 Dec 2015

Abstract excerpt

PURPOSE: Anthrax is caused by Bacillus anthracis, which can naturally infect livestock, wildlife and occupationally exposed humans. However, for its resistance due to spore formation, ease of dissemination, persistence in the environment and high virulence, B. anthracis has been considered the most serious bioterrorism agent for a long time. During the last century anthrax evolved from limited natural disease to...
