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.

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 ...
