Anthrax

Bacillus anthracis anthracnose is an infectious disease caused by Bacillus anthracis (Bacillus authracis). The disease is an infectious disease of cattle, horses, sheep and other animals, but occasionally it can also be transmitted to people working in leather and livestock. The bacteria was first discovered by Robert Koch in 1877. Bacillus anthracis spores can withstand very harsh environments such as strong ultraviolet rays and high temperatures. Under suitable conditions, the spores will start to move and become infectious Bacillus anthracis. Photo of the 731 unit anthrax test
