WHAT S ANTHRAX? IS ANTHRAX CONTAGOUS? Anthrax is a life-threatening infectious disease caused by bacillus anthracis that normally affects animals, especially ruminants (such as goats, cattle, sheep, and horses). Anthrax can be transmitted to humans by contact with infected animals or their products. In recent years, anthrax has received a great deal of attention as it has become clear that the infection can also be spread by a bioterrorist attack or by biological warfare. Anthrax does not spread from person to person and is not considered contagious. Bacillus anthracis :Gram positive aerobic bacteria
