Detecting biological warfare agents. [PDF]
Emerg Infect Dis, 2005 We developed a fiber-optic, microsphere-based, high-density array composed of 18 species-specific probe microsensors to identify biological warfare agents. We simultaneously identified multiple biological warfare agents in environmental samples by looking at specific probe responses after hybridization and response patterns of the multiplexed array.

Temporal Features in Biological Warfare [PDF]
Fuzzy Logic and Applications8th International Workshop, 2009 No matter how prepared a population may be, bioterrorism cannot be prevented: the first clues will always be given by ill people. Temporal analysis applied to this type of scenarios could be an additional tool for limiting disruption among civilians allowing for recognizing typical temporal progression and duration of symptoms in first infected people.
