Anthrax is a rare but a serious disease that is caused by a spore-forming bacterium called as bacillus anthracis.

Anthrax is a serious illness caused by a spore-forming bacterium called Bacillus anthracis. The disease majorly affects wild game and livestock. However, humans can get infected by anthrax bacteria through direct or indirect contact with animals that carry it. The bacteria causing anthrax enters the human body through a wound in the skin. In addition, inhaling bacterial spores and eating contaminated meat can lead to infection. Signs and symptoms of anthrax include skin sores, fever, and vomiting. For the prevention of anthrax, a three-dose series of anthrax vaccines is used. Common types of anthrax vaccines include cell-free protective agent (PA) vaccines and live anthrax vaccines.
