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, cr.

Toxicogenomics and Proteomics
Annotation The field of toxicology has developed a well-characterized set of techniques to assess the behavioral and histopathological consequences of exposure to environmental insults using a number of animal models. These techniques are suitable for determining crude endpoints of exposure such as death, but are not optimal for assessing the more subtle effects of very low level or multi-agent chemical exposures, nor do they offer mechanistic explanations at the molecular level. This book is designed to have a mix of chapters devoted to classical toxicology followed by those focused more on the emerging techniques of toxicogenomics and proteomics. In this way, the relevance of new technologies such as gene arrays to classical toxicologic problems is made evident. Finally, because the worst of the world's toxicology problems reside in developing nations while the latest technical developments are occurring in the industrial nations, we sought to provide a balance of both scientific and geographical perspectives from researchers engaged in toxicology and public health research.
Biopreparedness and Public Health
The terrorist use of diseases as bioweapons has been one of the major security concerns in recent years, particularly after the anthrax letter attacks in the USA in 2001. This uncertain threat of intentional outbreaks of diseases exists side by side with the constantly changing very real threat from diseases, epidemics and pandemics as recently illustrated by the H1N1 influenza pandemic, SARS, and H5N1 bird influenza events. This publication contains case studies on the public health planning for (un)usual disease outbreaks for 11 large and small countries with a focus on South Eastern Europe. In many countries, military entities traditionally play an important role in emergency response to ...
The Implementation of Legally Binding Measures to Strengthen the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention
Incidents of bioterrorism and biowarfare are likely to recur, leading to increased public concern and government action. The deficiencies of the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention (BTWC) are in urgent need of attention: the BTWC is the central international agreement to prevent the proliferation of biological warfare programmes. Uniquely, this book is written by diplomats involved in the decade-long effort (1991-2001) in which State Parties to the BTWC tried to agree a Protocol to the Convention with legally binding measures to strengthen its effectiveness, and academics concerned with the negotiations. Just before negotiations foundered, when the Chairman's proposed text was virtually ...
