On October 12, 2001, two envelopes containing Bacillus anthracis spores passed through a sorting machine in a postal facility in Washington, D.C. When anthrax infection was identified in postal workers 9 days later, the facility was closed. To determ

This report provides a statistical analysis of a Bacillus atrophaeus spore aerosol generated by opening a spore containing letter in an office, simulating the effects of an “anthrax letter”. Spore aerosols were collected by five sets of high-reso

Dry anthrax spore powder is readily disseminated as an aerosol and it is possible that passive dispersion when opening a letter containing anthrax spores may result in lethal doses to humans. The specific aim of this study was to quantify the respira

Chemiluminescent assays have been used to quantify phagocytic activity since 1972. In recent years these assays have been adapted to the 96-well microplate format as new luminometers have been developed. In this report we describe the optimization of
