Emerging Infectious Diseases 1 Anthrax (http://edis.ifas.ufl.edu/MB001)—Anthrax is mainly a disease of herbivorous animals such as sheep, horses, and cattle. In humans, the disease usually ocurrs only in people who work with these animals or their products. The causative agent, the bacterium Bacillus anthracis, can cause three different kinds of disease: cutaneous anthrax, intestinal anthrax, and pulmonary anthrax. All three types can be fatal. Cutaneous anthrax is characterized by skin ulcerations with black necrotic areas and swelling of the lymph glands. Inhalation anthrax causes severe breathing problems and shock and is usually fatal. Intestinal anthrax causes nausea, vomiting and fever, followed by vomiting blood and severe diarrhea.
