Preparedness Against Bioterrorism and Re-Emerging Infectious Diseases

In these papers drawn from the January 2003 workshop, contributors describe methods of building integrated systems to combat epidemics and bio-terrorism. Their general topics include developing epidemiology with laboratory support as a biological attack identification tool, using national approaches to biodefense, and conducting risk assessment, crisis management and first-responder training. Papers on applied research address detection, countermeasures, and evidence-gathering. Annotation ©2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
