Bioterrorism: Can You Stop the Outbreak? Student’s Name: Institution Abstract This paper looks at bioterrorism from a scientific front. It starts by defining bioterrorism as the use of bioweapons to unleash terror on humans and other living organisms. Bioweapons such as viruses, bacteria, protozoa, and fungi are agents that can easily be manipulated to disseminate deadly health conditions to humans on a mass scale. They act as bombs, hence, their alternative name “germ” bombs. Characteristically, these organisms are highly infective and effective, highly lethal, well suited for various delivery methods, and can be easily produced in mass. Finally, in regards to countering bioterrorism, acting as the head of the bioterrorism unit, I would increase the intelligence networks and coordinate all the security agencies with public health and biomedicine agencies in ensuring rapid detection, tracking, and mitigation of bioterrorism cases ADDIN CSL_CITATION { "citationItems" : , "container-title" : "New England Journal of Medicine", "id" : "ITEM-1", "issue" : "10", "issued" : { "date-parts" : ] }, "page" : "954-962", "title" : "Clinical Management of Potential Bioterrorism-Related Conditions", "type" : "article-journal", "volume" : "372" }, "uris" : } ], "mendeley" : { "formattedCitation" : "(Adalja, Toner, & Inglesby, 2015)", "plainTextFormattedCitation" : "(Adalja, Toner, & Inglesby, 2015)", "previouslyFormattedCitation" : "(Adalja, Toner, & Inglesby, 2015)" }, "properties" : { }, "schema" : "https://github.com/citation-style-language/schema/raw/master/csl-citation.json" }(Adalja, Toner, & Inglesby, 2015).
