I saw a WestNile before. My guess is these are drug candidate names from one of the candidate databases.

WestNile is a virus like Zika and for this it would make sense. But Anthrax? Isn't this a quite different thing?
 But I guess you are right. |

Yes Anthrax is a decise of it own and are created by a bacteria and not a virus. Nasty stuff with about same death ratio as Ebola if you get it. The bacterias name is Bacillus anthracis and been used as biologic weapon and by terrorist because it is easy to grow and spread. Just send the spores of the bacteria in a envolope or package by mail. |
