Evaluate the drafted changes
Your article provides a good overview of anthrax, its forms, transmission, and its impact on both humans and animals. However, there are a few points where you can improve the article:


 * 1) Clarity and Organization: The article can benefit from better organization. Consider breaking it into sections to make it easier for readers to find the information they're looking for. You might have sections such as "Introduction," "Forms of Anthrax," "Transmission and Exposure," "Anthrax in Animals," and "Conclusion."
 * 2) Citations: When you mention specific facts or statistics, it's a good practice to provide citations to reliable sources. For example, when you mention that Robert Koch identified Bacillus anthracis as the bacterium causing anthrax, you could include a reference to a relevant scientific paper or source.
 * 3) Depth: You can expand on some topics to provide more in-depth information. For instance, you mention that anthrax does not usually spread from an infected human to an uninfected human, but it might be helpful to explain why and under what circumstances it can happen.
 * 4) Prevention and Treatment: It would be beneficial to include a section on prevention and treatment of anthrax for both humans and animals. This would provide a more comprehensive view of the topic.
 * 5) Visual Aids: Consider adding relevant images, diagrams, or charts to help illustrate the text. For instance, you can include an image of the bacterium Bacillus anthracis or a map showing the distribution of anthrax spores.
 * 6) Grammar and Style: The article is generally well-written, but there are a few sentences that could be rephrased for clarity. For example, the sentence "The inhalation form presents with fever, chest pain and shortness of breath" could be improved by saying, "In the inhalation form, symptoms include fever, chest pain, and shortness of breath."
 * 7) Anthrax in Animals: The section about anthrax in animals is informative, but you might want to mention the importance of vaccination in preventing anthrax outbreaks in livestock.
 * 8) Public Health Implications: It could be useful to discuss the broader public health implications of anthrax, especially when there are outbreaks in animals that can affect humans. This can include measures taken to prevent transmission to humans.

Remember to ensure that the information in your article is accurate and up-to-date. Overall, your article is a good start, and with these improvements, it can become a more comprehensive and informative resource on anthrax.
