Abstract

Anthrax is a highly pathogenic zoonotic disease that is attributed to the aerobic, rod-like Gram-positive bacteria known as Bacillus anthracis. This disease primarily affects domestic and wild herbivores through the consumption of vegetation, water or soil and inhalation of air or dust contaminated with highly resistant B. anthracis spores. Humans become infected through inhalation, ingestion of animal and animal products, injection of hard drugs and cutaneous routes through contact with infected animals or carcasses. The outbreak of anthrax frequently occurs in regions with high levels of agricultural practices, including Africa and Asia.
尼日利亚炭疽热爆发:一个值得关注的问题?
炭疽是一种高致病性人畜共患疾病,是由一种叫做炭疽芽孢杆菌的需氧棒状革兰氏阳性细菌引起的。这种疾病主要通过消耗植被、水或土壤以及吸入被高度耐药炭疽芽孢杆菌污染的空气或灰尘而影响家养和野生食草动物。人类通过吸入、摄入动物和动物产品、注射硬性药物以及通过接触受感染动物或尸体的皮肤途径感染。炭疽热的爆发经常发生在农业生产水平高的地区,包括非洲和亚洲。
