Bioterrorism and Infectious Agents: A New Dilemma for the 21st Century (Emerging Infectious Diseases of the 21st Century) - Tapa blanda
Sinopsis
Since the terrorist attack on the United States on September 11, 2001 and subsequent cases of anthrax in Florida and New York City, attention has been focused on the threat of b- logical warfare and bioterrorism. Biological warfare agents are de?ned as “living org- isms, whatever their nature, or infected material derived from them, which are used for h- tile purposes and intended to cause disease or death in man, animals and plants, and depend for their efforts on the ability to multiply in person, animal or plant attacked.” Biological warfare agents may be well suited for bioterrorism to create havoc and terror in a civilian population, because they are cheap and easy to obtain and dispense. Infectious or contagious diseases have played a major part in the history of warfare – deliberately or inadvertently – in restricting or assisting invading armies over the centuries. In 1346, the Tartars catapulted plaque-infected bodies into Kaffa in the Crimea to end a 3-year siege. Blankets contaminated with smallpox to infect North American Indians were used by British forces in the 18th century. More recently, the Japanese released ?eas infected with plaque in Chinese cities in the 1930s and 1940s. Biological research programs for both offensive and defensive strategies have been developed by the United States, Britain, the former Soviet Union, and Canada; several other nations are thought to have such programs.

Fong and Kenneth Alibek, in which each chapter takes up one agent or group of agents and weighs its potential as a weapon of bioterrorism. The bacterial threats come first: anthrax, treated both as a natural disease and as a weapon, followed by plague, tularemia, and melioidosis with glanders. Smallpox, the hemorrhagic fever viruses and botulism are covered next, along with ricin, a toxin that is not infectious. The smallpox chapter sets out the scientific basis for its use as a weapon and the options for defending against it. Later chapters address warnings for health care workers and the economics of planning and preparing for an attack, including the shortcomings of the United States anthrax vaccine program. Most of the contributors work in defense, government or biodefense. Nº de ref. del artículo: AOA-231017-shelf-15-049

Paperback. Condición: Good. Ex Library book and has stickers or markings as such. NO writing or markings other then from the library, All pages intact and clean, shows minor signs of wear from use. Great reading copy, Save money and recycle books! Shipped with care in a bubble mailer. --- A collection of chapters edited by I.W. Fong and Kenneth Alibek. Each chapter is written by specialists and covers one agent considered a possible biological weapon. The bacterial agents come first: anthrax, treated both as a disease and as a weapon, then plague, tularemia, and melioidosis with glanders. Chapters on smallpox and the hemorrhagic fever viruses follow, then botulism and ricin, which is discussed as a noninfectious biological weapon. The clinical chapters review the history of each agent, how it causes disease, how patients are treated, and how exposed contacts are managed. The anthrax chapter draws on the inhalational cases caused by deliberate release in the United States. Later chapters turn to bioterrorism alerts for health care workers and to the economics of planning and preparing for an attack, including a critique of the American anthrax vaccine program.
