Abstract

Anthrax is a concern for public health and veterinary medicine in Russia. The available phylogenetic data on isolates from Russia and neighboring CIS countries are clearly not enough to gain a better understanding of their position in the global phylogenetic population structure of this pathogen. In this study, we analyzed the genomes of 66 Bacillus anthracis strains, which were isolated between 1935 and 2019 from different sources in Russia, as well as in Ukraine, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Armenia and Moldova. Whole genome SNP analysis of genomes of 66 strains obtained in this study along with 222 B. anthracis genomes available in the GenBank database revealed 7242 SNPs used to construct a phylogenetic reconstruction with the method of Maximum Likelihood. Studied strains belong to 6 different genetic groups: A.Br.008(A.Br.008/009), A.Br.081(Ames), A.Br.014(A.Br.Aust94), A.Br.082(A.Br.001/002), A.Br.034(A.Br.005/006, Ancient A) and B.Br.002 (B.Br.001/002). Within the group A.Br.014(A.Br.Aust94) a subcluster A.Br.029 of strains isolated in Georgia, Armenia, Azerbaijan, Russia (Republic of Dagestan) and Turkey, named Caucasus-East Anatolia (CEA), was identified. In the subgroup A.Br.105(Tsiankovskii) the cluster A.Br.117 of strains fr...Continue Reading

Anthrax Vaccines

Three different types of anthrax vaccines are available; a live-attenuated, an alum-precipitated cell-free filtrate and a protein recombinant vaccine. The effectiveness between the three is uncertain, but the live-attenuated have shown to reduce the risk of anthrax with low adverse events. Here is the latest research on anthrax vaccines.

Anthrax

Anthrax toxin, comprising protective antigen, lethal factor, and oedema factor, is the major virulence factor of Bacillus anthracis, an agent that causes high mortality in humans and animals. Here is the latest research on Anthrax.
