Scientific and Technical Means of Distinguishing Between Natural and Other Outbreaks of Disease Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop, Prague, Czech Republic, 18-20 October 1998

There is increasing concern over the possible use of biological weapons. If they are used, an attack will manifest as a disease outbreak among humans, animals or plants. It is thus important to be able to distinguish between natural disease outbreaks and the result of such an attack. The bok discusses the scientific and technical means available to investigate this question and then goes on to consider the agents of concern. The book concludes with a look forward to future developments.Dando, Malcolm is the author of 'Scientific and Technical Means of Distinguishing Between Natural and Other Outbreaks of Disease Proceedings of the NATO Advanced Research Workshop, Prague, Czech Republic, 18-20 October 1998' with ISBN 9780792369905 and ISBN 0792369904.
