A <i>Bacillus anthracis</i> Genome Sequence from the Sverdlovsk 1979 Autopsy Specimens

2016-08-16

Abstract excerpt

Anthrax is a zoonotic disease that occurs naturally in wild and domestic animals but has been used by both state-sponsored programs and terrorists as a biological weapon. The 2001 anthrax letter attacks involved less than gram quantities of Bacillus anthracis spores while the earlier Soviet weapons program produced tons. A Soviet industrial production facility in Sverdlovsk proved deficient in 1979 when a plume o...
