Aerosolized biologic toxins as agents of warfare and terrorism

Respiratory Care Clinics, 2004
Incomplete participation in the 1972 Biological Weapons Convention treaty and noncompliance by several signatory nations makes the malicious use of aerosolized biologic toxins a continuing threat. Unfortunately,prompt diagnosis of toxin exposure may be confounded by a paucity of pathognomonic features and limited diagnostics, but the scenario of ...

Biomaterials for Mediation of Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents

Annual Review of Biomedical Engineering, 2003
Recent events have emphasized the threat from chemical and biological warfare agents. Within the efforts to counter this threat, the biocatalytic destruction and sensing of chemical and biological weapons has become an important area of focus. The specificity and high catalytic rates of biological catalysts make them appropriate for decommissioning ...

Biological Agents: Weapons of Warfare and Bioterrorism

Molecular Diagnosis, 2001
The use of microorganisms as agents of biological warfare is considered inevitable for several reasons, including ease of production and dispersion, delayed onset, ability to cause high rates of morbidity and mortality, and difficulty in diagnosis. Biological agents that have been identified as posing the greatest threat are variola major (smallpox ...

Biological Warfare Agents, Toxins, Vectors and Pests as Biological Terrorism Agents [PDF]

open access: possible, 2004
The threat and use of biological agents for warfare and terrorism purposes has a long history. As human, animal and plant pathogens and toxin lists will be hard to define we propose several tables of enlisted pathogens and toxins with important criteria on the basis of which a decision can be made to include in or exclude from a list of biological ...
