Potential distributions of Bacillus anthracis and Bacillus cereus biovar anthracis causing anthrax in Africa.
BACKGROUND:Bacillus cereus biovar anthracis (Bcbva) is an emergent bacterium closely related to Bacillus anthracis, the etiological agent of anthrax. The latter has a worldwide distribution and usually causes infectious disease in mammals associated with savanna ecosystems. Bcbva was identified in h...
