How many people die per year because of Anthrax?

What is an antonym for prophylaxis?
The word prophylaxis means treatment given or action taken to prevent disease. The antonym would be a word that means treatment given or action taken to cause disease - in other words, deliberately infecting the victim with a disease. Vaccination is a way of deliberately infecting someone with a disease so that their immune system then gears up to prevent later infection by a stronger form of the same disease, or of a related disease. So I guess in a sense, vaccination is an antonym for prophylaxis. Another antonym would be terrorism (deliberately sending anthrax through the mail) or biological warfare.
