Anthrax (disease)

Anthrax is caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis. The spores of this bacterium can enter the body through inhalation, ingestion, or contact with broken skin. Once inside the body, the spores can germinate and release toxins that lead to the symptoms of anthrax.

Anthrax has NO odour. It does not smell like anything. This said, you should not be sniffing things you think are Anthrax!

Bacillus anthracis spores are easily produced in mass quantities in a lab. They are tiny, easily spread, can be passed from plant to animal to human, and cause easily be fatal to an unvaccinated population. The application of the spores is undetectable without special testing, and can survive for very long periods of time even in harsh conditions. The most notorious means of using anthrax as a bioterrorism weapon was contamination of cattle feed cakes in 1944 and the American scare of spores being mailed to individuals in the media and Senate.

Anthrax is not a virus, but a bacterium known as Bacillus anthracis. Bacillus species are gram positive bacilli.

Louis Pasteur developed the rabies vaccine, which was first used in 1885 on a boy named Joseph Meister who had been bitten by a rabid dog. The anthrax vaccine was developed by Louis Pasteur as well in the late 19th century.

A person with anthrax isn't considered contagious so if you get anthrax then no you are not contagious.

Bacillus anthracis is susceptible to gamma phage because the phage has evolved to target and infect specific receptors on the surface of the bacterium. This interaction enables the gamma phage to inject its genetic material into the bacterium, hijacking its machinery to produce more phage particles and ultimately leading to the destruction of the bacterial cell.

Anthrax is a rare disease and the number of deaths worldwide is not high, typically less than 100 cases annually. Most deaths occur in regions with limited healthcare infrastructure and poor access to treatment. Vaccination and appropriate antibiotic treatment can help prevent fatalities from anthrax.

The scientific name of anthrax is Bacillus anthracis.

Anthrax is a fast-killing bacteria, that goes through the blood stream to cause chaos to areas like the brain and heart. So, yes, anthrax bacteria can be transmitted through the milk. But chances are milk quantity will decrease and the cow will be acting so strange that the calf won't be able to suckle from the affected cow. It only takes a few hours or less for Anthrax to kill a cow.

Bacteria causes anthrax.

Cancer is an inherited disease. These aren't diseases, but you can be tall, short, dark-haired, dark-eyed, fair-haired, lighter-eyed, with big feet, with small feet, with freckles or without, with curly hair or straight hair, or many other things because your parents, or somebody else in you class, was (or is).

Bacillus anthracis requires a Bio-safety Level 3 laboratory because it can be fatal in humans, although there are treatments which exist for Anthrax is it is diagnosed early.
