    Beskrivning

    Biosecurity and Bioterrorism, Second Edition, takes a holistic approach to biosecurity, with coverage of pathogens, prevention, and response methodology. It addresses these hazards in the context of vulnerability assessments and the planning strategies government and industry can�use to prepare for and respond to such events.

    The book is organized into four thematic sections: Part I provides a conceptual understanding of biowarfare, bioterrorism and the laws we have to counteract this; Part II investigates known bioagents and the threat from emerging diseases; Part III focuses on agricultural terrorism and food security; and�Part IV outlines international, US, and local initiatives for biodefense and biosecurity. Case studies illustrate biodefense against both intentional terrorism and natural outbreaks.



    • Covers emerging threats of pandemic influenza, antibiotic resistant strains of bacterial pathogens, and severe respiratory diseases caused by novel viruses
    • Offers increased international coverage, including initiatives to counter biological weapons and threats, and food security
    • Updated throughout with latest protocols for dealing with biological threats and new case studies
    • Includes online instructor ancillaries - PowerPoint lecture slides, test questions,�and an instructor manual, for increased classroom functionality
