| | | | | Q fever: Encyclopedia II - Biological warfare - Biological weapons characteristics Ideal characteristics of biological weapons are high infectivity, high potency, availability of vaccines, and delivery as an aerosol.
Diseases most likely to be considered for use as biological weapons are contenders because of their lethality (if delivered efficiently), and robustness (making aerosol delivery feasible).
The biological agents used in biological weapons can often be manufactured quickly and easily. The primary difficulty is not the production of the b ...

| | | | | Q fever: Encyclopedia II - Biological warfare - Attacking Crops & Animals Biological warfare can also specifically target plants to destroy crops or defoliate vegetation. The United States and Britain discovered plant growth regulators (i.e., herbicides) during the Second World War, and initiated a Herbicidal Warfare program that was eventually used in Malaya and Vietnam in counter insurgency. Though herbicides are chemicals, they are often grouped with biological warfare as bioregulators in a similar manner as biotoxins.
The United States developed an anti-crop capability during the Cold War that used plan ...

| | | | | Q fever: Encyclopedia II - Bioterrorism - Planning and reacting to a bioterrorist attack Planning may involve the development of biological identification systems.
Until recently in the United States of America, most biological defense strategies have been geared to protecting soldiers on the battlefield rather than ordinary people in cities. Financial cutbacks have limited the tracking of disease outbreaks. Some, like food poisoning due to E. coli or Salmonella, could be natural or deliberate.
In Europe, disease surveillance is beginning to be organised on the continent-wide scale needed to track a b ...

| | | | | Q fever: Encyclopedia II - Biological warfare - Protective measures The primary civil defense against biological weaponry is to wash one's hands whenever one moves to a different building or set of people, and avoid touching door knobs, walls, the ground and one's mouth and nose. Washing literally sends the germs down the drain.
More exotic methods include decontamination, usually done with household chlorine bleach (5% solution of sodium hypochlorite). One useful decontamination is to leave shoes in an entranceway and make people wade and handwash in a footbath of bleach. Another useful techniq ...

| | | | | Q fever: Encyclopedia II - Bioterrorism - Biological warfare programmes and convention on biological weapons
The United States' biological warfare programme began during World War II. But, it came to a halt in 1969, when President Nixon reviewed the program, decided it was wrong, and ordered the destruction of all weapons. Part of the decision was due to the availability of a nuclear defense, which, it was thought, made it unnecessary to develop biological weapons since it would make it possible for other countries to develop them as well.
Today, several countries have or are developing biological warfare programmes. According to the ...

Biological warfare - 1984 Rajneeshee salmonella attack.
In the small town of The Dalles, Oregon, followers of the Bhagwan Shri Rajneesh (the Rajneeshee Cult) attempted to control a local election by infecting salad bars with salmonella. The attack caused about 900 people to get sick. It is considered the first ever bioterrorism case in US history.
Biological warfare - 2001 anthrax attack.
In September and October of 2001, several cases of anthrax broke out in the ...

| | | | | Q fever: Encyclopedia II - Biological warfare - The role of public health departments and disease surveillance It is important to note that all of the classical and modern biological weapons organisms are animal diseases, the only exception being smallpox. Thus, in any use of biological weapons, it is highly likely that animals will become ill either simultaneously with, or perhaps earlier than humans. Indeed, in the largest biological weapons "accident" known -- the anthrax outbreak in Sverdlovsk (now Yekaterinburg) in the Soviet Union in 1979, sheep became ill with anthrax as far as 200 kilometers from the release point of the organism from a military facility i ...

| | | | | Q fever: Encyclopedia II - Q fever - Appearance and incidence The pathogenic agent is to be found everywhere except Antarctica and New Zealand. In Europe it rather appears as hepatitis and rather as pneumonia in the United States. The bacterium is extremely sustainable and infectious: a single one is able to cause an infection. The common way of infection is inhalation of contaminated dust, contact with contaminated milk, meat, wool and particularly birthing products. Ticks can transfer the pathogenic agent to other animals. Transfer between humans seems extremely r ...
