Anthrax (Bacillus anthracis) gets its name from the Greek word for coal (anthrakis) due to the black skin lesions the disease causes. Anthrax has appeared throughout history; Virgil describes it among domesticated wild animals in his Georgics (29 b.c.e.). [Source: Encyclopedia of Global Health; Anthrax]
