Security sensitive microbes (viruses, bacteria, fungi, and
parasites) and toxins, which are often referred to as the select
agents and toxins, have the capacity to cause serious illness and
death in humans, animals, and plants. Throughout history, these
microbes and toxins have been exploited in one form or another as
biowarfare and bioterror agents that create fear and panic well
beyond any actual physical damages they might cause. Manual of
Security Sensitive Microbes and Toxins provides comprehensive,
state-of-the-art coverage of microbes and toxins of biosecurity
concern. The ultimate goal is to increase our awareness of these
agents and enhance our preparedness against any future
bio-emergencies. The book begins with an introduction containing a
brief overview of the historical aspects of security sensitive
microbes and toxins. This is followed by a concise summary of the
current status in relation to the regulation of security sensitive
microbes and toxins and a discussion of future development trends.
The book is divided into seven parts: Microbes and Toxins Affecting
Humans and Animals: Viruses Microbes and Toxins Affecting Human and
Animals: Bacteria Microbes and Toxins Affecting Human and Animals:
Fungus and Parasite Microbes and Toxins Affecting Human and
Animals: Toxins Microbes Affecting Animals: Viruses Microbes
Affecting Animals: Bacteria Microbes Affecting Plants Written by
experts in the relevant areas of research, the chapters are
authoritative reviews, each one covering a single microbe or toxin
with respect to its classification, biology, epidemiology,
pathogenesis, identification, diagnosis, treatment, and prevention.
The chapters also discuss the limitations of our current knowledge
and challenges relating to improved detection and control of the
microbe or toxin.
