Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Anthrax is a serious zoonotic disease, primarily affecting grazing wild and domestic herbivores, in which it usually causes a fatal septicemic infection. Human infection can occur when one comes in contact with infected animals or their products (e.g., animal hides or wool). The clinical forms of human anthrax reflect the different ways the bacteria enter the organism (cutaneous, gastrointestinal, inhalation, and injection). Anthrax is most common in agricultural regions and in developing countries or in countries without veterinary public health programs. Although anthrax cases have globally decreased over the years, anthrax is still considered one of the most feared zoonotic diseases. In this Special Issue, all your articles on pathogenesis, genomics, and epidemiology, as well as the improvement and development of diagnostic methods, are welcome. Original research articles and reviews on advances in research on Bacillus anthracis will be considered. We look forward to your contributions.
