Anthrax And Plague Swabbed On NYC Subway
An 18-month effort to swab handrails across the New York subway network has found anthrax DNA and germs that can cause bubonic plague and meningitis.
Weill Cornell researcher Christopher Mason scoured the entire network as part of the first genetic profile of a major metropolitan transport system.
He found that the type of germs discovered were unique to particular areas - and believes the research could help to track future disease outbreaks.
The plague germs were found uptown, for example, while meningitis was prevalent in midtown.
