Anthrax vaccine bid for Nato by Cardiff University
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-19639205
Anthrax is an acute bacterial infection most commonly found in hoofed animals
Scientists from Cardiff University are leading a Nato project to try to develop a vaccine for anthrax to help in the fight against bioterrorism.
The work is in response to a growing concern about the misuse of the life-threatening bacterial infection.
It could also help parts of central Asia where anthrax infection in humans and animals is a problem.
Scientists hope to develop a more effective vaccine than the one that is currently available.
