Both the man and the animals are infected by this agent, especially ruminants. The latter become infected by ingesting especially spores present in pastures that are in the contaminated soil. Humans become infected when there is contact with infected animals or their products.
In the case of cutaneous anthrax infection typically occurs by contamination of a skin lesion by bacterium in question, iptg an incubation period of approximately 12 days. After this period a local swelling of the skin, which gradually increases, causing iptg an ulcer, releasing a transparent fluid arises. Consequently, the formation of a red crust, which becomes dark, painless and drying stresses within one to two weeks. In addition, there are malaise, fever, nausea, and muscle aches. About 10% of cases can result in death of the patient, for progression to the systemic form.
