Answers:
General anthrax info: Anthrax is an acute disease in humans and animals caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis which is highly lethal in some forms!. There are effective vaccines against anthrax, and some forms of the disease respond well to antibiotic treatment!.
The anthrax bacillum is one of only a few that can form long-lived spores: in a hostile environment, caused perhaps by the death of an infected host or extremes of temperature, the bacteria become inactive dormant spores which can remain viable for many decades and perhaps centuries!. Spores are found on all continents except Antarctica!. When spores are inhaled, ingested, or come into contact with a skin lesion on a host they reactivate and multiply rapidly!.
