Ciclo del Ántrax

El ciclo del ántrax:
Las esporas del Bacillus anthracis (ántrax) infectan a los seres humanos o a los mamíferos a través de diferentes procesos: por ingestión, por inhalación o por vía cutánea a través de la picadura de un insecto infectado. Las esporas del ántrax se originan en la vegetación de los desechos excretados por el ganado que se expone al oxígeno.
