older people and immunocompromised subjects (irrespective of their age). Herpes zoster is caused by the varicella zoster virus and, typically, develops many years after the patient had recovered from chickenpox. It is thought that at the time of infection with chickenpox the virus migrates from the skin to the sensory ganglia via the axons of peripheral nerves and remains dormant in the ganglia, usually for many years. Activation of the virus occurs when the subject’s cell immunity is reduced. The

The sources of infection include Bacteria, Viruses and Fungi, as these microorganisms which cause disease, have the ability to reproduce themselves within the body. These microorganisms produce harmful toxins that damage cell tissues. Routes Of Transmission It can be spread through person to person contact, which is known as ‘Direct Contact Transmission’ through an infected person, which is known as human reservoirs that are not affected by it, spreading it by coughing or sneezing which when inhaled

called Bacillus anthracis. Infection in humans most often involves the skin, gastrointestinal tract, or lungs. Causes, incidence, and risk factors Anthrax commonly affects hoofed animals such as sheep, cattle, and goats, but humans who come into contact with infected animals can get sick from anthrax, too.

disinfections. They may remain viable in contaminated soil for many years after the source infection has terminated. Dried or processed skins and hides of infected animals may also harbor the spores for many years and in most cases act as fomites by which the disease is spread worldwide. There are up to three types of anthrax, classified mainly according to the modes of transmissions. Cutaneous anthrax infection occurs through the skin and is caused by direct contact with contaminated soil, tissues
