It is said to have been invented to commemorate the 1800 siege of French forces at Genoa, when the city's inhabitants survived largely on almonds.

Fauvel initially called it gateau d'ambroise (lit. 'ambrosia cake').

Glanders: Historical military use and potential bioterrorism concern.. Burkholderia mallei , the etiological agent of glanders, is a zoonotic bacterium primarily affecting equines and occasionally humans. Although rare today, it remains endemic in certain regions and poses a potential threat to both animal and public health. Historically, B. mallei was among the earliest biological agents used in warfare, and its classification as a Category B bioterrorism agent underscores the need for ongoing vigilance. This review is warranted due to several factors: the limited availability of effective treatments or vaccines, the pathogen's ability to cause severe systemic infections, its diagnostic ch…
