Considered impact of disease outbreaks with a focus on wildlife populations (as well as human and livestock). Implemented metrics for estimating the likelihood and consequences of spread of the pathogens.
The authors aim to create a multifactorial risk-priority scoring system for Category A BW agents using 10 criteria that include factors relating to disease potentiality, probability of attack, and prevention/intervention methods.
The National Research Council evaluated the utility and soundness of the risk assessment process of DHS. In doing so, the evaluation provided information on how the process works, and the factors considered.
This memo to the Commander in chief and Commanding Generals describes likely avenues of attack by sabotage methods of BW and how to protect against them.
Volume II provides high-level overviews of the biological agents that are most commonly associated with biodefense activities. Additional chapters present the status quo of antibacterial and antiviral therapy and diagnostic development.
This report explores defensive strategies that could be used to protect air transportation spaces (specifically, airport terminals and aircraft) against attack with chemical or biological agents and makes recommendations to TSA.
Outlines the objectives of the Joint Force in response to any BW attack, especially those where physical and physiological protections cannot prevent infection. Provides details about roles and responsibilities within the Joint Force in the event of…
This conference was held to discuss biological activities in their relation to security. The main topic is Japan's potential use of balloons to spread biological material.
CBW prepped a report on the capabilities of BW to assess their military worth, based on the Committee Report on Appraisal of the Technical Aspects of BW.
Described general evaluation of the threat of BW. Included overview of the analyses of most likely BW foreign-threats from the intelligence community (classified files).
Provided a basis for stratification of agents into classes based on their risks and requisite biosafety protocols for working with each of these classes. This then allowed determination of the types of measures appropriate for each risk level/agent.
