Bacillus Species Anthrax Model
Product Code : JC-BE-6183
The Bacillus Species Anthrax Model from Jaincolab is a three-dimensional teaching model that illustrates the biology of Bacillus anthracis and the clinical forms of anthrax disease.
It is used in microbiology and medical courses to explain the cutaneous, pulmonary, and gastrointestinal presentations of anthrax and their underlying pathogenesis.
What the Concept States
| Parameter | Details |
|---|---|
| Causative Organism | Bacillus anthracis, a Gram-positive, spore-forming, rod-shaped bacterium |
| Cutaneous Anthrax | The most common form; spores enter through skin abrasions and produce a characteristic painless black eschar |
| Pulmonary (Inhalational) Anthrax | Also called wool sorter's disease; inhaled spores cause hemorrhagic mediastinitis and severe respiratory distress |
| Gastrointestinal Anthrax | Follows ingestion of contaminated meat; causes fever, abdominal pain, and hemorrhagic gastrointestinal symptoms |
| Pathogenesis | Anthrax exotoxin, composed of protective antigen, lethal factor, and edema factor, disrupts host cell signaling and causes tissue damage |
Key Features
- Illustrates the three clinical forms of anthrax caused by Bacillus anthracis
- Shows the pathogenesis of cutaneous, pulmonary, and gastrointestinal anthrax
- Explains the toxin-mediated mechanism of anthrax disease
- Durable, exam-oriented construction for repeated classroom use
- Compact benchtop format suitable for laboratories and lecture halls

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. What does the Bacillus Species Anthrax Model demonstrate?
A. It demonstrates the biology of Bacillus anthracis and the three clinical forms of anthrax disease.
Q2. What are the three forms of anthrax?
A. The three forms are cutaneous, pulmonary (inhalational), and gastrointestinal anthrax.
Q3. Why is pulmonary anthrax called wool sorter's disease?
A. It was historically associated with workers handling contaminated wool and animal hides who inhaled anthrax spores.
Q4. How does Bacillus anthracis cause disease?
A. Its exotoxin, composed of protective antigen, lethal factor, and edema factor, damages host cells and disrupts normal cell signaling.
Q5. Who uses this model?
A. Microbiology and medical students and faculty use it to study Bacillus anthracis and anthrax pathogenesis.
