Immunity to AnthraxConsiderable variation in genetic susceptibility to anthrax exists among animal species. Resistant animals fall into two groups: (1) resistant to establishment of anthrax but sensitive to the toxin and (2) resistant to the toxin but susceptible to establishment of disease. This is illustrated in the table below. Neither the source of the inoculum (spores or vegetative cells or a mixture) nor the route of inoculation (subcutaneous, gastrointestinal, or inhalational) is stated. The infectious dose of anthrax is expected to vary widely based on these parameters, as well.
