The risk of bioterrorist and biocrime attack in the contemporary world
Journal Title: Revista de Medicină Militară - Year 2019, Vol 0, Issue 2
Abstract
The biological attack is the artificial spread by various means of pathogens that can cause serious infectious and contagious diseases as well as the spread of germ toxins that can be used by an aggressor as a means of fighting in order to reduce the troops’ fighting force, by causing serious disease outbreaks or by killing people, animals and/or plants. Biological agents are microorganisms and/or microbial, animal or plant toxins, used as specific ammunition for biological weapons or used by terrorists in "bio-chem" attacks. The risks of bioterrorism and biocrime attack in the contemporary world are real, and the history of the 20th century and the beginning of the 21st century confirms this. It is necessary for preventive measures to be implemented on the unlawful use of biological agents. Early medical and non-medical countermeasures must be prepared for the prophylaxis, treatment and cessation of the consequences of any biological attack
