The global distribution of <i>Bacillus anthracis</i> and associated anthrax risk to humans, livestock, and wildlife

2018-08-19

Abstract excerpt

<h4>Summary</h4> Bacillus anthracis is a spore-forming, Gram-positive bacterium responsible for anthrax, an acute and commonly lethal infection that most significantly affects grazing livestock, wild ungulates and other herbivorous mammals, but also poses a serious threat to human health 1, 2 . The geographic extent of B. anthracis endemism is still poorly understood, despite multi-decade research on anthrax ep...
