Conclusions
The following pathogens are considered for their biosecurity threat: neurotropic viruses, human viral hemorrhagic fevers, Variola virus, Anthrax, Brucella, B. mallei and glanders, B. pseudomallei, C. burnetii, F. tularensis, Y. pestis, and biotoxins. Biotoxins could be considered threat agents when they have high morbidity/mortality and there is poor countermeasure availability.
