What is Anthrax?
- Bacillus anthracis, a gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria, is the source of the deadly infectious illness anthrax.
- Animals both domestic and wild are frequently impacted worldwide by this natural occurrence in soil.
- If people come into contact with diseased animals or contaminated animal products, they could become ill with anthrax.
- Animals and humans alike can contract a serious infection from anthrax. When spores enter the body, anthrax infections occur in people.
- Anthrax spores may become "active" once they have entered the host. Once the bacteria have multiplied, they can move throughout the body, produce toxins, and lead to serious sickness.
In the US, cases of anthrax are uncommon. But occasionally, epidemics do happen in domestic and wild grazing animals like cattle or deer.
