Anthrax, caused by the bacterium Bacillus anthracis, is a zoonotic disease primarily affecting herbivorous animals such as sheep, goats, and cattle. Spores are widely found in soil worldwide, leading to significant epizootics in animal populations. While human cases are rare, they can occur, particularly during outbreaks. Although less common in developed countries, the bioweapon potential of anthrax raises concerns about its use in biological terrorism, highlighting the need for awareness and preparedness against such threats.
