Abstract

Terrorism is on the rise throughout the world and bioterrorism as the most sophisticated type of terrorism is consequently more probable now than ever. This book is a scientific and timely contribution to defence against bioterrorism. Its chapters cover all aspects of bioterrorism from the preventive point of view and give theoretical and pragmatic framework for a bioshield, which successfully encounters both the measures of biodefence and bioweaponing control. The hot topics of this book within primordial, primary, secondary and tertiary prevention of bioterrorism include: dual use research in synthetic biology, strategy of intelligence, emerging natural infectious disease, potential public health threat of refugee crises, methods of differentiation between a biological attack and other epidemics, plant derived antigens and antibodies, panic disorder during bioterrorist attack, safety and security regulations, bioreconnaissance and bioforensics, strategy of deterrence, environmental, nutritional and ethical aspects of bioterrorism.
