This fourth edition of the anthrax guidelines encompasses a systematic review of the extensive new scientific literature and relevant publications up to end 2007 including all the new information that emerged in the 3-4 years after the anthrax letter events. This updated edition provides information on the disease and its importance, its etiology and ecology, and offers guidance on the detection, diagnostic, epidemiology, disinfection and decontamination, treatment and prophylaxis procedures, as well as control and surveillance processes for anthrax in humans and animals. With two rounds of a rigorous peer-review process, it is a relevant source of information for the management of anthrax in humans and animals.

Excerpt from Anthrax as an Occupational Disease A sudden and startling increase in the number of illnesses and deaths from anthrax in the United States drew public attention to this occupational disease during the closing months of 1915 and the early part of 1916. Most of the increase took place in seaports and tannery towns in the three States of New York, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. New York, for instance, reported more deaths from the malady in 1915 than had, previously occurred in any State in any single year since the Census Bureau began to give anthrax a separate place in the mortality statistics. In Massachusetts more cases were reported during the first six months of 1916 than in any preceding whole year since the infectious disease reporting law in that State went into effect. The relative importance of anthrax is shown by the fact that for every five deaths from lead poisoning reported in the United States registration area there is one death from anthrax, and that the total number of anthrax cases is about five times the number of fatalities. One Delaware physician was able to furnish, from his own practice, data on 48 cases treated within six years. During the same period a single Philadelphia hospital treated 32 cases, 6 of which were fatal. In three years one State workmen's compensation commission passed upon 30 claims arising from this occupational disease. Anthrax is primarily a disease of animals such as cattle and sheep, but is transmitted to man in a number of industrial pursuits.

Less than a month after the September 11, 2001 attacks, letters containing spores of anthrax bacteria (Bacillus anthracis, or B. anthracis) were sent through the U.S. mail. Between October 4 and November 20, 2001, 22 individuals developed anthrax; 5 of the cases were fatal. During its investigation of the anthrax mailings, the FBI worked with other federal agencies to coordinate and conduct scientific analyses of the anthrax letter spore powders, environmental samples, clinical samples, and samples collected from laboratories that might have been the source of the letter-associated spores. The agency relied on external experts, including some who had developed tests to differentiate among strains of B. anthracis. In 2008, seven years into the investigation, the FBI asked the National Research Council (NRC) of the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) to conduct an independent review of the scientific approaches used during the investigation of the 2001 B. anthracis mailings. Review of the Scientific Approaches Used During the FBI's Investigation of the Anthrax Letters evaluates the scientific foundation for the techniques used by the FBI to determine whether these techniques met appropriate standards for scientific reliability and for use in forensic validation, and whether the FBI reached appropriate scientific conclusions from its use of these techniques. This report reviews and assesses scientific evidence considered in connection with the 2001 Bacillus anthracis mailings.

The vaccine used to protect humans against the anthrax disease, called Anthrax Vaccine Adsorbed (AVA), was licensed in 1970. It was initially used to protect people who might be exposed to anthrax where they worked, such as veterinarians and textile plant workers who process animal hair. When the U. S. military began to administer the vaccine, then extended a plan for the mandatory vaccination of all U. S. service members, some raised concerns about the safety and efficacy of AVA and the manufacture of the vaccine. In response to these and other concerns, Congress directed the Department of Defense to support an independent examination of AVA. The Anthrax Vaccine: Is It Safe? Does It Work? reports the study's conclusion that the vaccine is acceptably safe and effective in protecting humans against anthrax. The book also includes a description of advances needed in main areas: improving the way the vaccine is now used, expanding surveillance efforts to detect side effects from its use, and developing a better vaccine.
