Counteracting Bioterrorism: A Challenge to India
Subscribe/Renew Journal
Bioterrorism is a potential public health threat to India. The impact of a biological attack to our nation could be devastating. Most biological warfare agents do not produce symptoms for many hours or several days, so Indians exposed to a contagious biological warfare agent could easily spread the agent to thousands before symptoms manifest. The dental profession could potentially play a significant role in the emergency response to a major bioterrorism attack. This article provides a brief overview of the threat from biological weapons, its consequences, clinical presentation of diseases and state of preparedness in India as a response to this potentially catastrophic danger.
