5. -infect humans expecially when they :
* exposed to a blood and other tissues of infected
* Eat tissues from infected animals
* Exposed to high density of anthrax spores from
animal’s fur, hide or wool.
doesn’t spread from one infected animal or person
to another directly, but the spores can transport
by:
1) Clothing
2) Shoes etc

8. Wash down with anti-microbe effective soap and
water.
Waste water should treated with bleach or anti-
microbial agent.
Chlorine= ineffective in destroying spores n
vegetative cells on surface
Burning clothing = very effective
Includes larges doses of intravenous and oral
antibiotics.
Also strict precaution on person which suspected
having die from anthrax

10. Guess what’s bacteria X ?
It actually refers to Clostridium botulinum .
Gram-positive, rod shaped microorganism
Obligate anaerobe , spore-former
Produce oval, subterminal endospores
Commonly found in soil but its endospores may
contaminate raw foods before harvest or slaughter.
Produces neurotoxin botulin, caused flaccid
muscular paralysis in botulism.then….death.
Main paralytic agent in BOTOX..

13. Problems speaking, slurred speech
Vision difficulties/ double vision
Difficulty swallowing
Upset stomach / abdominal cramps

16. produce nice pattern but…
bacteria of the spirochete type.
predominant in North America, but also exists in Europe.
Main agent of Lyme disease.
Have zoonotic characteristic
vector-borne disease transmitted by ticks such deer tick
( Ixodes scapularis )
Among the few pathogenic bacteria that can survive
without iron and that replacing all of its iron-sulfur cluster
enzymes with enzymes that use manganese.
Its diameter of a single cell is approximately 0.4 μm.

17. Mode of transmission: bite of infective Ixodes tick
The cause of emergence is increase in deer and populations
in wooded areas.
Untreated Lyme lead to; arthritis, neurological involvement
such as palsy, weekness in limbs, visual disturbance, facial
paralysis, seizures etc
