Anthrax Bacteria is a gram-positive, rod-shaped bacteria known as Bacillus anthracis. It causes a serious infectious disease in humans that come in contact with infected animals or contaminated animal products. To prevent the spread, Infectious Disease Laboratories need to be able to perform Anthrax Bacteria testing for Bacillus anthracis very quickly.
Russia has a Bacillus anthracis, Anthrax outbreak that has left 13 nomadic people hospitalized and 1,500 reindeer dead.

Like other infectious disease research and development, all Bacillus anthracis and anthrax Bacteria testing, research, and development (R&D) needs to be conducted in a biosafety laboratory with the appropriate levels of containment.
Contract Laboratory helps governments and companies facilitate infectious disease research and development (R&D) and testing. Below are some examples.
- A Microbiology Laboratory is needed for viral URI Testing from nasal swabs. Infectious agent detection by nucleic acid (DNA or RNA); respiratory virus (eg, adenovirus)
- Immunology Laboratory needed for immunological clinical biomarker testing for immunological disorders, infectious disease
- Europe FDA GLP CRO needed for Clinical Study, in-vivo Challenge Protection Study (efficacy or potency or immunogenicity testing ) in poultry chicks for infectious disease
- Microbiology/Toxicology Laboratory required to test Electrolyzed Water products for their ability to kill bacteria such as MRSA, FLU,
- USA GLP Clinical/Microbiology Laboratory needed for testing using cell culture/IFA to determine the presence of infectious virus
- Bioanalytical GLP USA lab needed for serology on infectious disease; Hep, HIV, HTLV from primary liver cells and/or tissue
- A preclinical contract research organization is needed for testing in infectious disease models associated with nosocomial infections
- FDA Immunology Contract Research Organization is needed for infectious disease research and development to modify immune responses by altering the behavior of DNA
- ISO 17025 Molecular Diagnostic Testing laboratory RT PCR testing needed for Hepatitis B, C,. TB, and other human infectious diseases using RT
- GLP Microbiology Laboratory needed for efficacy testing of chemical sanitizers against adenovirus and rotavirus (separately) in water
- A new CLIA lab is needed to perform ongoing specialty Infectious Disease (malaria, shigella, etc) testing for patient diagnostic clinic
- A microbiology laboratory is needed for disinfectant efficacy testing of the product against the below-listed microorganisms. Avian Influenza
- India Microbiology Laboratory is needed for Disinfectant efficacy testing for our Disinfectant against the H1N1 Virus and PED viruses.
- A pharmaceutical company needs non-GLP virology laboratories for anti-viral activity study of drug compound
- A virology laboratory is needed for virucidal activity testing of disinfection products against Rabies Virus.
And many more infectious disease research and development studies.
