Threats of bioterrorism in public health, Epidemiological clue, Detection and Safety pre-cautions for outbreaks

Abstract

Bioterrorism is release of biological agents such bacteria, viruses and toxin in peoples to reduce their population by causing illness which is leads to death. These bio-wars are continue panic threat in public health which is ignored and denier. Disrupting the economic, religious, social distraction, ideological and political infl uence. These infectious agents have massive impact on human life as compare to war. Millions of population have been died with life threating agents which including bubonic plague, smallpox, measles, infl uenza, typhus. Bioterrorism is international practice of biological products or pathogen to cause destruction in human-being, animals, plants and other living organisms. For decades Epidemiologists investigated the non-infectious and infectious diseases among human and animals population. Investigation identifi ed the risk factors, vehicle and transmission mode among the familiar and unfamiliar outbreaks. Verity of information systems are used to detect the occurrence of disease or syndrome, dominated syndromic system. Importance of the system is to identify the data of outbreaks and storage of disease information that helpful in control of life threatening diseases via automatic monitoring system, detection or occurrence of disease in various groups. The launch of particular system is to collect the information or data for disease syndrome or occurrence. It can be identify the number of disease or quantity of outbreaks in abundant areas according to Zip-code, city, state or region. Health department and human services play important and critical role over medical and public health response to bioterrorism. Center for Disease Control and Prevention CDC takeover effort of nation and public health to detect the response to a bioterrorist events. Certain federal, states, provinces and other local communities are improving their health of population capacities to reply-back to various sort of outbreaks or emergencies.

Recent Trends in Protective Textiles against Biological Threats: A Focus on Biological Warfare Agents

“…It is one of the most fatal diseases to have ever existed, presenting mortality rates of up to 30% (variola virus variant) [46]. The smallpox virus has a long incubation period, usually 11 to 14 days, and early symptoms include a fever and nonspecific macular rashes [47]. The variola virus is transmitted via respiratory droplets, cutaneous lesions, infected body fluids, and fomites.…”
