Abstract:Bacillus cereusbiovaranthracis(Bcbva) is an atypical anthrax-causing bacterium, inflicting wildlife fatalities across African rainforest ecosystems. The pathogen’s virulence in one of our closest living relatives, the chimpanzee, together with human serological evidence, suggestsBcbvais zoonotic. While classicalB. anthracis-induced anthrax has been described to affect the central nervous system at a progressive disease-state, the neuroinfectiology ofBcbvais yet unknown. Here we characterised the pathogen’s neu… Show more
