Özet
Anthrax, a zoonotic disease caused by Bacillus anthracis, occurs in domesticated and wild animals-primarily herbivores. Humans usually become infected by contact with infected animals or their products. Anthrax is so easy to obtain that it could be weaponized for biological warfare if a laboratory area of 5 m2 is owned with 10.000$.
