Anthrax

because they realized it would suspend the right of habeas corpus. Lucky for the bush administration these senators got a letters filled with anthrax which killed both of them. These letters were supposably written by Al Qaeda members but there are some major problems with that claim. For starters one of the letter said “You can 't stop us. we have this anthrax. You die now” but why would someone wanting to kill as many people as possible write that on the letter when it would be much more…

result of bioterrorist attacks, people can die, economies can be severely damaged, and the environment can be ruined. In addition, bioterrorist attacks have happened before within the United States of America, and one of the best examples is the anthrax attack of 2001. There is also the issue of how unlikely a bioterrorist attack is due to varying factors that generally have to do with the terrorist himself. In any case, if a bioterrorist attack were to occur in the United States, the…

Biological Warfare: The Anthrax Plot Besides terrorism, biological warfare is a serious threat to America. Biological agents used as weapons significantly affect a nation’s economy, social and political standing. Anthrax is one of the most common biological agents used as a weapon by terrorist groups and on the American population. In this paper, I summarize the article “Organizational Versus Individual Attribution: A Case Study of Jemaah Islamiyah and the Anthrax Plot”. Additionally, I…

1. Summary of how I identified Bacillus cereus. a. First, I performed the gram stain test, I then went on to do the spore stain. b. The results I obtained from the gram stain were gram positive rods, I could tell they were positive by the purple color to them and the rod shape by the comparison provided in the lab manual (Wilkosz, Peterson). After I confirmed the results I performed the spore stain, which indicated that my sample was positive so it contained endospores. The sample should have…

Anthrax is a highly infectious disease that normally affects herbivores (livestock) and unfortunately may also spread to humans through inhalation, ingestion or any sort of skin contact of the bacterium, Bacillus anthracis. Bacillus anthracis (B. anthracis) is a gram positive spore forming bacterium that invades the human body and leads to various symptoms of Anthrax, depending on how virulent it has become. These symptoms include; swollen neck glands, bloody diarrhoea, vomiting blood, extreme…

Historical Use of Anthrax The first anthrax bomb of the West was dropped onto Gruinard Island in 1942. The test was conducted by a British team while American officials observed (Mangold & Goldberg, 2000). The test provided disturbing results about how badly an anthrax weapon could contaminate a targeted area. It took half a century to finally clean up the anthrax contamination but the tests proved that anthrax could be produced, weaponized and transported quite a distance to inflict damage to a…

The bioterrorism anthrax attacks that happened in 2001 though letters sent to various media workplaces left the world scared. Many people became infected through these letters, and also five innocent people died in consequence of them. It left the world confused and even more terrified when a 94 year old lady from a small town in Connecticut suddenly died from anthrax. Her name was Ottille Lundgren. It is still not known exactly today how she was exposed to this. There are many ideas as to how…

Bacillus anthraces is an intense irresistible malady brought on by Bacillus anthraces, a spore shaping, gram-positive bacillus. Related malady happens most much of the time in sheep, goats, and dairy cattle, which get spores through ingestion of polluted soil. People can get to be tainted through skin contact, ingestion, or inward breath of B. anthraces spores from contaminated creatures or creature items (as in "fleece sorter's infection" from introduction to goat hair). Individual…

The subjects that will be discussed are staphylococci, Unknown 1, and Streptococci & Enterococci. Exercise 26 emphases on Staphylococcus. Staph is short for staphylococcus, which is a type of bacteria. The genus for staphylococcus is staphylococci there are various types but the most important organisms within this genus are Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus saphrophyticus, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. S.aureus is the common bacteria within this genus and is the number one infection in…

Anthrax isolated case Anthrax is caused by the bacterial spore Bacillus anthracis. Bacillus anthracis’s characteristic spore allows it to live dormant for many years without desiccation before becoming active when exposed to water. It occurs naturally and can be found on vegetation and in many products made form animals. One method of contracting anthrax is inhalation. This has been known as a prevalent pathology of the disease among infected wool workers and hide tanners. It has also been…
