Background: Anthrax is a zoonotic infectious disease caused by Bacillus anthracis. Investigating the spatiotemporal characteristics of anthrax and impact meteorological factors on incidence helpful for prevention control anthrax. Methods: At first, we applied Granger causality test to explore transmission between counties cities Gannan Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Gansu P...

Anthrax, caused by Bacillus anthracis, is a fatal disease and all the warm bloodedanimals are susceptible to this disease. Many livestock populated areas in Pakistan endemic forAnthrax (Thappa Karthikeyan 2001), therefore population annually vaccinatedagainst Anthrax. Veterinary Research Institute (VRI) has been producing Anthrax Spore Vaccine(ASV) for couple of decades. The current study was d...

purpose : cutaneous anthrax of the eyelid is a rare condition in clinical practice, but should be considered in the differential diagnosis of preseptal and orbital cellulitis. here we report a case of palpebral anthrax. case report : a 5-year-old girl with anthrax infection of the right upper eyelid is presented. her eyelid showed an edematous, necrotic, and partially bullous lesion. following ...

Background: Bacillus anthracis may usually cause three forms of anthrax: inhalation, gastrointestinal and cutaneous. The gastrointestinal (GI) anthrax develops after eating contaminated meat. Thus, in this paper were report 5 cases of intestinal anthrax. Case Presentation: We report a case series of intestinal anthrax, with history of consumption of raw or poorly cooked liver of sheep. One pati...

On October 4, 2001, CDC and state and local public health authorities reported a case of inhalational anthrax in Florida. Additional cases of anthrax subsequently have been reported from Florida and New York City. This report updates the findings of these case investigations, which indicate that infections were caused by the intentional release of Bacillus anthracis. This report also includes i...

Bacillus anthracis releases two bipartite proteins, lethal toxin and edema factor, that contribute significantly to the progression of anthrax-associated shock. As blocking the anthrax toxins prevents disease, the toxins are considered the main virulence factors of the bacterium. The anthrax bacterium and the anthrax toxins trigger multi-organ failure associated with enhanced vascular permeabil...
