| I'm going to give you three steps we need to do to prepare this nation better for bioterrorism or biowarfare. |
|
| Untoward events, natural or deliberate, such as those due to terrorism or biowarfare may appear simultaneously in multiple locations. |
|
| It's a tremendously important academic and scientific institution that grew out of the ashes of America's offensive biowarfare program. |
|
| Stores of smallpox, however, are kept in a few places around the world and could be used in biowarfare. |
|
| Safeguards are needed to ensure fulfillment of that trust, in particular, to ensure that science is not used in bioterrorism or biowarfare. |
|
| It purportedly screens for pathogens involved in disease or biowarfare. |
|
| Awareness of the threat of microbial spread has increased because biowarfare has challenged our mind-set and made us realize that we no longer can take our safety for granted. |
|
| The major threat of biowarfare was described by Dr Edmiston. |
|
| In addition to the thinktank, Mr Bush called for a government centre that would focus on weapons of mass destruction and prevent the trafficking of biowarfare. |
|
| Chapter five, which deals with the spectre of bioterrorism and biowarfare, prognosticates with frightening plausibility on the worst, largely unregulated modern evil. |
|
| The former Soviet Union is estimated to have had more than 60,000 people working in its biowarfare research programme at its height. |
|
| This is why it is so important to secure and eliminate the 20,000 Russian nuclear weapons and 1,100 tons of fissile material, and find jobs for the thousands of unemployed nuclear scientists and biowarfare specialists. |
|
| In the wake of the 2001 anthrax attacks, the federal government stepped up research involving biowarfare threats, like anthrax, Ebola and many other of the world's deadliest pathogens. |
|
| This means that we have the necessary laboratory capabilities to identify potential biowarfare agents and dangerous pathogens in the highest risk groups safely and swiftly. |
|
| Classical biowarfare agents such as anthrax or plague may be made more efficient weapons, barriers to access to agents such as smallpox and Ebola are being lowered, and completely new types of weapons are becoming possible. |
|
| Since biowarfare experts should know that anthrax spores remain virulent for several decades, more emphasis needs to be put on decontaminating areas exposed to anthrax. |
