Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Anthrax is a significant infectious disease that affects a wide range of mammals, including humans, when exposed to infected animals or infected products of animal origin. The etiological agent of anthrax is Bacillus anthracis, a Gram-positive, rod-shaped bacterium that is able to produce extremely resistant spores that can survive in the environment for several decades.
For this Special Issue, we invite contributions that focus on advancing our understanding of Bacillus anthracis infection, bacterium–host interactions, immunology, animal models, vaccine strategies and related immune responses among livestock and wild animals. Original research articles, reviews and method papers are welcome.
