anthrax - acute infectious bacterial disease
Definition for anthrax
Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis and is highly lethal in some forms.
more
Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis and is highly lethal in some forms. Anthrax most commonly occurs in wild and domestic ruminants, but it can also occur in humans when they are exposed to infected animals, tissue from infected animals, or high density of anthrax spores. There are no known cases of infection in humans resulting from direct contact with a diseased person. Anthrax infection is extremely rare in common domestic pets (dogs and cats) with only one documented case in the USA in the last 15 years. The word anthrax is derived from the Greek word anthrakis, or "coal", in reference to the black skin lesions victims develop.
