The 2nd edition of the book “Anthrax: Actual Problems of Developing and Implementing Medical Protection Means” has been published under the editorship of RAS Academician G. G. Onishchenko, Professor I. V. Darmov and Corresponding Member of RAS S.V. Borisevich. The main reason for the release of the first edition was the increased attention to the anthrax problem after the terrorist attack in the USA in 2001 using Bacillus anthracis as a bacteriological agent [1]. These events have become a significant incentive for research in many countries, including Russia.
