neurotoxin‚ generically called botulinum toxin‚ produced by the bacterium Clostridium botulinum (and rarely by C. butyricum and C. baratii). There are seven distinct neurotoxins (types A-G) that Clostridium botulinum produces‚ but types A‚ B‚ and E (and rarely F) are the most common that produce the flaccid paralysis in humans. The other types mainly cause disease in animals and birds‚ which also develop flaccid paralysis. Most Clostridium species produce only one type of neurotoxin; however‚ the effects

The variola virus comprises of double-stranded DNA and has an intricate structure. Another toxin includes botulinum toxin. Botulinum toxin is one of the most deadly substances known to humanity; it is a neurotoxin generated from the bacterium Clostridium botulinum. The toxin interferes with neurotransmission of the brain‚ causing paralysis throughout the body. Botulinum is also used clinically‚ but is very unstable; more information is needed about the toxin in order to move further in advancements
