The global distribution of Bacillus anthracis and associated anthrax risk to humans, livestock and wildlife. [PDF]
Nature Microbiology, 2019 Bacillus anthracis is a spore-forming, Gram-positive bacterium responsible for anthrax, an acute infection that most significantly affects grazing livestock and wild ungulates, but also poses a threat to human health.

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2004 Optimization of methods for ruling out Bacillus anthracis leads to increased yields, faster turnaround times, and a lighter workload. We used 72 environmental non-B. anthracis bacilli to validate methods for ruling out B. anthracis. Most effective were the use of horse blood agar, motility testing after isolates had a 2-h incubation in trypticase soy ...

PLOS Neglected Tropical Diseases, 2020 (Uploaded by Plazi for the Bat Literature Project) Bacillus cereus biovar anthracis (Bcbva) is an emergent pathogen causing anthrax in West and Central African countries. It shares multiple bacteriological and genomic characteristics with Bacillus anthracis, the gram-positive bacterium causing anthrax in mammals worldwide.

Blowflies as vectors of Bacillus anthracis in the Kruger National Park
Koedoe: African Protected Area Conservation and Science, 2018 Anthrax, caused by Bacillus anthracis, is endemic in the Kruger National Park (KNP). The epidemiology of B. anthracis is dependent on various factors including vectors.

Inactivation ofBacillus anthracisSpores
Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2003 After the intentional release of Bacillus anthracis through the U.S. Postal Service in the fall of 2001, many environments were contaminated with B. anthracis spores, and frequent inquiries were made regarding the science of destroying these spores.

TaqMan Assays for Simultaneous Detection of Bacillus anthracis and Bacillus cereus biovar anthracis [PDF]
Pathogens, 2020 Anthrax is a worldwide zoonotic disease caused by the spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis. Primarily a disease of herbivores, human infections often result from direct contact with contaminated animal products (cutaneous and inhalational anthrax) or through consumption of infected meat (gastrointestinal anthrax).
