The plural form of anthrax, used when referring to multiple anthrax diseases or infections.
From Greek 'anthrax' (coal or carbuncle), the plural 'anthraces' following classical Greek pluralization rules.
The word 'anthrax' comes from the Greek word for coal because anthrax causes dark, coal-colored pustules on the skin—making 'anthraces' one of the few disease names that's also kind of a poetic description!
