BIOTERRORISM: AN EMERGING THREAT TO HUMANITY

Journal Title: IJSR-International Journal Of Scientific Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 4

Abstract

Biological warfare has been existing since ancient times. Biological agents can be spread through the air, water, or in food. Terrorists tend to use biological agents because they are extremely difficult to detect and do not cause illness for several hours to several days. Some bioterrorism agents like the smallpox virus can be spread from person to person and some like Anthrax, cannot.
