Anthrax in humans and animals, 4th ed.

thus the fourth edition is now being issued seven years after it was commissioned, but it is certainly greatly improved as a result of the new information that emerged in the 3–4 years after the anthrax letter events. Formally dedicated to Max Sterne, whose remarkable work in the 1930s made naturally occurring anthrax a controllable disease, it is also dedicated to the 22 persons who contracted anthrax as a result of the anthrax letter events, and particularly to the memory of the five who regrettably died from their infections, as well as to the unknown number of people that become sick and die of the naturally occurring disease, mainly among the poor in developing countries.
