Prominent experts in biodefense research-many from the US Army
Medical Research Institute of Infectious Diseases-authoritatively
delineate the universe of scientific, medical, and legal issues
facing the biodefense research community. Regarding medical
countermeasures and decontamination, the authors describe the
treatment and pathogenesis of a variety of established pathogens
(anthrax, plague, smallpox, Brucellosis, Glanders, and Coxiella
burnettii) and review what is known about the aerosol route of
infection and decontamination processes. They also examine how to
discover the presence of these agents, or other previously unknown
biological weapons, and detail the ongoing efforts to counter these
agents, including proteomic and genomic analysis as a gateway to
better diagnostics, therapeutics, vaccinations, genotyping, and
forensics. Additional chapters discuss the development and use
technology to identify and characterize these infectious organisms,
emerging threats, and the development of countermeasures.
