Immunosensors for Assay of Toxic Biological Warfare Agents. [PDF]
Biosensors (Basel), 2023 An immunosensor for the assay of toxic biological warfare agents is a biosensor suitable for detecting hazardous substances such as aflatoxin, botulinum toxin, ricin, Shiga toxin, and others. The application of immunosensors is used in outdoor assays, point-of-care tests, as a spare method for more expensive devices, and even in the laboratory as a ...

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.

Current Trends in the Biosensors for Biological Warfare Agents Assay. [PDF]
Materials (Basel), 2019 Biosensors are analytical devices combining a physical sensor with a part of biological origin providing sensitivity and selectivity toward analyte. Biological warfare agents are infectious microorganisms or toxins with the capability to harm or kill humans. They can be produced and spread by a military or misused by a terrorist group.

Biodefense: trends and challenges in combating biological warfare agents. [PDF]
Virulence, 2013 The possibility of biological warfare and bioterrorism has become an increasing concern to both military planners and civil defense authorities worldwide. Letters containing anthrax spores sent to destinations within the US in 2001 brought the sudden realization that bioterrorism is not merely a theoretical threat but a real and present danger ...

Biological warfare agents as threats to potable water. [PDF]
Environ Health Perspect, 1999 Nearly all known biological warfare agents are intended for aerosol application. Although less effective as potable water threats, many are potentially capable of inflicting heavy casualties when ingested. Significant loss of mission capability can be anticipated even when complete recovery is possible. Properly maintained field army water purification

Anthrax as a Potential Biological Warfare Agent [PDF]
Archives of Internal Medicine, 1998 Anthrax is a zoonotic illness recognized since antiquity. Today, human anthrax has been all but eradicated from the industrialized world, with the vast majority of practitioners in the United States unlikely to have seen a case. Unfortunately, the disease remains endemic in many areas of the world, and anthrax poses a threat as a mass casualty ...
