Abstract
Abstract : Few microbial pathogens have had as great an impact on the early development of medical bacteriology and immunology as Bacillus anthracis. From studies on this etiologic agent of anthrax during the mid-1800s have stemmed many of the fundamental concepts of infection and immunity now generally accepted. Although anthrax has long been recognized as a disease primarily associated with herbivorous animals, it can occur in humans, usually as a result of incidental contact with infected animals or contaminated animal products. It was in response to the major epidemics of the mid-1800s, that the French Minister of Agriculture commissioned Pasteur to develop methods to control anthrax.
