Biological Warfare Agent Laboratory Diagnosis and Biosafety Concerns

Lucky Gupta

Bioterrorism events have been rare until lately numerous clinical laboratories may not be familiar with handling samples from a possible bioterrorism attack. Thus, they should be apprehensive of their own liabilities and limitations in the running and treatment of similar samples, and what to do if they're requested to reuse clinical samples. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has developed the Laboratory Response Network to give an systematized response system for the discovery and opinion of natural warfare agents grounded on laboratory testing capacities and installations. There are potentially numerous natural warfare agents, but presumably a limited number of agents would be encountered in case of an attack, and their identification and laboratory safety will be bandied.
