History of chemical and biological warfare agents

Toxicology, 2005
Chemical and biological warfare agents constitute a low-probability, but high-impact risk both to the military and to the civilian population. The use of hazardous materials of chemical or biological origin as weapons and for homicide has been documented since ancient times.

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 ...

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 ...

Antimicrobials for Biological Warfare Agents

2005
Biological warfare (BW) agents also cause natural human or animal diseases. The natural forms of these agents can often be treated successfully by using specific antimicrobial agents (for example, see Table 1 and Table 2). In many cases, the antimicrobial susceptibilities and perhaps the most efficacious therapy of the resultant infections are well ...

Trichothecenes and yellow rain: Possible biological warfare agents

BioEssays, 1986
Abstract‘Yellow Rain’, an alleged biological warfare agent thought to be utilized in parts of both South East Asia and Afghanistan, may be composed in part of the mycotoxins, trichothecenes. However, more recent analyses suggest that the ‘Rain’ was mainly honey bee excreta.

The BARC biosensor applied to the detection of biological warfare agents

Biosensors and Bioelectronics, 2000
The Bead ARray Counter (BARC) is a multi-analyte biosensor that uses DNA hybridization, magnetic microbeads, and giant magnetoresistive (GMR) sensors to detect and identify biological warfare agents. The current prototype is a table-top instrument consisting of a microfabricated chip (solid substrate) with an array of GMR sensors, a chip carrier board ...

Biological Warfare Agents, Toxins, Vectors and Pests as Biological Terrorism Agents

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 ...
