What are the common anthracnose diseases

Anthrax is an infectious disease caused by infection with Bacillus anthracis, most commonly cutaneous anthrax, followed by pulmonary anthrax and intestinal anthrax. This pathogen is transmitted between animals and humans, and belongs to a kind of zoonotic disease. It usually develops first in animals such as cows and sheep, and human beings can be infected after coming into contact with animals that develop the disease. 1. Cutaneous anthrax: mainly manifested as boils on the skin, with pus, redness and swelling, accompanied by swelling and pain in the surrounding lymph nodes, and so on. 2. Pulmonary anthrax: mainly caused by inhalation of Bacillus anthracis-containing spores, which may result in bronchial and respiratory difficulties, edema of the lungs, and enlarged lymph nodes in the mediastinum. 3. Intestinal anthrax: It is mainly caused by consuming food containing Bacillus anthracis and manifests itself in symptoms such as congestion, intestinal necrosis, abdominal pain and blood in the stool. If patients with anthrax appear, they should be isolated and treated immediately, and the infected area should be dealt with promptly.
