Bioterrorism has received a lot of attention in the first decade of this century. Biological
agents are considered attractive weapons for bioterrorism as these are easy to obtain …

Although a fundamental understanding of the pathogenicity of most biothreat agents has
been elucidated and available treatments have increased substantially over the past …

Background Infectious diseases are a leading cause of death in humans, animals, and
plants globally. Pathogen infections can reduce food production and endanger biodiversity …

We report a dual-readout, AuNP-based sandwich immunoassay for the device-free
colorimetric and sensitive scanometric detection of disease biomarkers. An AuNP–antibody …

Anthrax is an infectious disease caused by Bacillus anthracis. Although anthrax commonly
affects domestic and wild animals, it causes a rare but lethal infection in humans. A variety of …

Bacillus anthracis is a bioterrorism agent classified by the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC). Herein, a novel electrochemical immunosensor for the sensitive, specific …

We report a label-free real-time nanopore sensing method for the detection of anthrax lethal
factor, a component of the anthrax toxin, by using a complementary single-stranded DNA as …

The present review (containing 242 references) illustrates the importance and application of
optical and electrochemical methods as well as their performance improvement using …

Inhalation anthrax has a rapid progression and high fatality rate. Pathology and death from
inhalation of Bacillus anthracis spores are attributed to the actions of secreted protein toxins …

Anthrax toxins are produced by Bacillus anthracis throughout infection and shape the
physiopathogenesis of the disease. They are produced in low quantities but are highly …
