enter the word you want information on (for example, anthrax)
then press "Find" (may be different in some Internet browsers) to get the information you need.

The Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy's Anthrax section According to Dave Bender of The University of Minnesota's Center for Infectious Disease Research and Policy (CIDRAP), their anthrax section is regularly updated with news stories focusing on the medical aspects and implications for bioterrorism of the anthrax bacillus (bacillus anthracis is the current "scientific" name for this nasty little bug).
The "Overview" feature of this site provides current and comprehensive medical information about anthrax. According to Dave Bender, this site also has scores of medically reviewed links to other resources on and off the Internet.

Prominent attorney Ross Getman researched the facts surrounding the biological terror attacks using anthrax shortly after 9/11, and has published his findings in "Al Qaeda, Anthrax and Ayman" This article raises important questions about the anthrax letter attacks; Getman's work seems at least as credible and well-founded as anything on the subject released by the FBI or the Attorney General in the wake of the attacks.
