41 The Three Forms of Anthrax Cutaneous Anthrax Pulmonary Anthrax 1.Cutaneous Anthrax (skin hemorrhage) 2.Pulmonary Anthrax (lung and cerebral hemorrhage; fatality rates at ~90% plus) 3.Gastrointestinal Anthrax (rare)

42 Anthrax: 2 Toxins, 3 Proteins PA Protective Antigen LF Lethal Factor EF Edema Factor _____________________________________________________ PA-LF Lethal Toxin (cytotoxin) PA-EF Edema Toxin Clicker Question:

43 Weaponized Anthrax Spores Endospores mixed with talc powder: in mailed envelopes or packages to news media (Florida), government (Washington DC), non-focused in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York.  22 cases of Anthrax: 11 cutaneous + 11 pulmonary  5 Deaths Bioterroist was a bioweapons lab worker. Bioweapon facility in Sverdlovsk, Russia: inadvertant release of 1 gram of endospores  77 anthrax cases, 66 died.
