描述 | Biotechnology is vital to counter biological and toxin weapons.Without biotechnology, the detection, identification and diagnoses of,and medical countermeasures to such weapons would be virtuallyimpossible. As biological and toxin agents occur in natural outbreaksof disease or intoxications, there are both civil and military benefitto be had from the use of biotechnology in providing effectivecountermeasures to such agents. .The role of biotechnology in countering biological and toxin weaponsis here addressed under seven major headings: . .The wider political and economic contexts; .. Enablingtechnologies for BTW agent detection; .. The applicability ofbiotechnological methods for BTW agent detection on the battlefield,in a terrorist incident, and in an inspection environment; ..Pre-exposure medical countermeasures; .. Diagnosis andidentification; .. Post-exposure treatment and decontamination;.. Contribution of biotechnology to strengthening internationalconventions against BTW agents... |
