Warfare and criminal activity utilizing bioterrorism has come of age and is a real and active force in our social and political environment.

Type  (?)

Praxis, Theoria

Level  (?)

ALL (Undergraduate, Graduate, Doctorate, Postdoctorate)

Definition  (?)

Establish standards and detection methods to help government and law enforcement agencies detect bioterrorism.

Objectives  (?)

• Discover patterns of outbreak which could help determine whether an infection was natural or planned .
• Discover methods of detecting whether an infectious agent occurs naturally or by biological engineering.

Questions  (?)

What are the ways to distinguish between the spread of a planned attack, as opposed to a natural outbreak? How are biological agents engineered? How are biological agents weaponized? How are weapons employing biological agents engineered?

Keywords  (?)

bioterrorism, virus, bacteria, terrorism, hallucenigenics, immunology
