This volume is based on a multidisciplinary approach towards
biological and chemical threats that can, and have been previously
used in bioterrorism attacks around the globe. Current knowledge
and evidence-based principles from the fields of synthetic biology,
microbiology, plant biology, chemistry, food science, forensics,
tactics, infective medicine, psychology and others are compiled to
address numerous aspects and the complexity of bioterrorism
attacks. The main focus is on biological threats, especially in the
context of synthetic biology and its emerging findings that can be
observed as possible threat and tool. The book examines
microorganisms and their possible use in forensics, i.e. as
possible detection tool that could enable fast and precise
detection of possible treats. A number of plant derived components
are also discussed as possible agents in bioterrorism attacks, and
in relation to infectious disease pathology. Another integral part
is food safety, especially in terms of large food supply chains,
like airline caterings, institutionalized kitchens etc. Food can be
observed as a possible mean of delivery of various agents
(biological and chemical) for bioterrorism attacks. Steps on how to
recognize specific critical points in a food supply chain, along
with proposed corrective activities are discussed. Examples from
around the globe, along with the methodological approach on how to
differentiate bioterrorism attacks from other epidemics are
provided. However, epidemics are also discussed in the context of
migrations, with the special emphasis on the current refugee
migrations that affect not only Europe, but also the United States.
The book will be of interest to experts from various fields of
science as well as professionals working in the field. The book
encompasses examples and tools developed for easier, more specific,
and faster detection of possible bioterrorism treats, along with
proposed actions for some aspects of a bioterrorism attack.
