“…Physical condition of temperature, light and humidity is very effective on producing water borne pathogens and their metabolites toxins. In the study, the pathogenic Microbe C Boulinum in samples of potable water is relative to sources of contamination [12,13]. In the present study, these results had showed some similarities observed as in under developing countries like rural area of Pakistan has not correct quality of drinking sources of water for domestic purposes.…”

“…After WW II the phenomenon of food terrorism appeared. In 1946 a group of avengers poisoned the bread of SS-soldiers with arsenic in a guarded camp (Khan et al, 2001). In the cold war a huge amount of biological weapons were stocked on both opponent military blocks.…”

SummaryThe use of living organisms as weapon has been seen throughout the history of mankind. In our age the growing global tension, the several malfunctional nations and the multitudinous occurrence of low-intensity conflicts increase the risk of biological terror attacks even in Europe. In case of a contingent biological terror attack the veterinarians will become key figures fighting in the forefront, because 60% of the human contagious diseases are zoonotic and the food-chain is an easily vulnerable target which is fundamentally supervised by them. Malicious, deliberate contamination of food and water supplies with different biological agents, including bacteria, viruses, parasites and bacterial toxins for terrorist purposes is a real threat to the civilian populations worldwide. Hence, in the paper the authors review the concepts, history and future trends of bio, agro and food terrorism, and the possible impacts of bioterrorism on food-chain, public health, economy and the whole society.

“…The threat of chemical or microbiological contamination to drinking water is well established, and would be an effective way of causing devastating public health consequences (Khan et al, 2001;Teter, 2002). As it presently stands, the technology to detect these contaminants is lacking (Tiemann, 2002).…”
