Engineering techniques developed to cure genetic diseases could also be used to cause harm if misapplied. While modern biotechnology promises better health, it also risks multiplying sickness and death if used for warfare. In response to suspected German biological weapons programs in World War 2, the U.S., U.K., and Canada initiated their own programs testing agents like anthrax and botulism toxin. While the German threat was exaggerated, the research contaminated sites for decades. Planning for bioterrorism must include detection, diagnosis, and response plans leveraging available human and physical resources.
Bioterrorism
Bioterrorism involves the intentional release of biological agents like viruses, bacteria, or toxins to cause disease or death in humans, animals, or plants. It has occurred throughout history, such as when the British distributed smallpox-infected blankets to Native Americans in the 18th century. Biological weapons are categorized based on their contagiousness and lethality. Category A agents like anthrax, smallpox, and plague are highly contagious and lethal. While biological attacks are difficult to carry out and predict, strengthening public health measures like disease monitoring and drug development can help address this threat.

bio terrorism
Bioterrorism involves the intentional release of biological agents like bacteria, viruses, or toxins. Historically, biological agents have been used in warfare as far back as the 14th century. Biological agents are classified based on how easily they can spread and the severity of illness. Some notable agents that could be used in bioterrorism are anthrax, plague, and tularemia. While these agents may be easy to produce, deploying them effectively poses challenges. Nations must work to prevent bioterrorism through regulating dangerous materials and improving detection of outbreaks. Health systems and public health authorities need to prepare response plans and educate medical staff.
Microorganisms in biological warfare
“Microbial forensics” has been defined as “a scientific discipline dedicated to analyzing evidence
from a bioterrorism act, biocrime, or inadvertent microorganism/toxin release for attribution
purposes” (Budowle et al., 2003). This emerging discipline is still in the early stages of
development and faces substantial scientific challenges to provide a robust suite of technologies
for identifying the source of a biological threat agent and attributing a biothreat act to a particular
person or group. The unlawful use of biological agents poses substantial dangers to individuals,
public health, the environment, the economies of nations, and global peace. It also is likely that
scientific, political, and media-based controversy will surround any investigation of the alleged
use of a biological agent, and can be expected to affect significantly the role that scientific
information or evidence can play. For these reasons, building awareness of and capacity in
microbial forensics can assist in our understanding of what may have occurred during a biothreat
event, and international collaborations that engage the broader scientific and policy-making
communities are likely to strengthen our microbial forensics capabilities. One goal would be to
create a shared technical understanding of the possibilities—and limitations—of the scientific
bases for microbial forensics analysis._ NCBI

Artificial blood
Artificial blood, also known as blood substitutes, are substances that aim to mimic the functions of biological blood, especially its ability to carry oxygen. The main goals are to provide an alternative to blood transfusions by avoiding issues like limited supply, infectious disease transmission, and high costs. Two major types of artificial blood that have been developed are perfluorocarbon emulsions and hemoglobin-based oxygen carriers. Perfluorocarbons can dissolve and transport oxygen through the body but lack other blood functions. Hemoglobin carriers aim to mimic real hemoglobin but must be modified to avoid issues like rapid kidney filtration. While artificial blood shows promise, current versions still have disadvantages like short lifespans, allergic reactions, and inability to perform all

SCIENCE DLP Form 2 chapter 4 Human health notes
This document discusses infectious and non-infectious diseases. It defines infectious diseases as those caused by pathogens that can be transmitted directly or through vectors, giving examples like flu, ringworm, and dengue. Non-infectious diseases are caused by genetic or lifestyle factors and cannot be transmitted, examples provided are cancer, hypertension, and diabetes. The document then discusses how infectious diseases are spread through various means like airborne transmission through coughing or sneezing, waterborne transmission through contaminated water, contact transmission through skin-to-skin or sexual contact, and vector-borne transmission through organisms that transmit pathogens. It also outlines the body's defense mechanisms against disease like the immune system, phagocytosis, immunity, and vacc
Anthrax_D Dutta
Anthrax is a potentially lethal disease caused by Bacillus anthracis bacteria. It can affect both humans and animals through contact with infected animals, animal products, or inhalation of spores.

It covers concepts like disease, illness, sickness, and the natural progression of a condition from when it affects an individual to recovery or death. It also discusses theories of disease transmission and the epidemiological triad of agent, host, and environment. Key aspects of natural history covered include pre-pathogenesis, pathogenesis, and recovery or outcomes. Modes of transmission like direct, indirect, vehicle-borne and vector-borne are explained. The roles of source, reservoir, and susceptible host in disease transmission are also summarized.
Biological warfare
Biological weapons are living organisms or toxins that can be used as weapons to kill or incapacitate humans, animals, or plants. They include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and other pathogens. Biological weapons are categorized based on their priority and how easily they can spread. Some historical uses of biological weapons include using plague-infected corpses in the 14th century and smallpox against Native Americans in the 18th century. Modern concerns include the growing availability of gene editing technology that could be misused to create new biological weapons. Defenses against biological weapons focus on detection, protective equipment, vaccines, and rapid medical response.

Psychotropic drugs review
A drug is defined as any chemical agent which
affects protoplasm and is intended for use in
the treatment, prevention or diagnosis of
disease. The word ‘drug’ is derived from
French word ‘drogue’ which means ‘a dry
herb’The Science which include whole of the
knowledge about drugs is called
“Pharmacology” the Greek word
‘pharmacon’ meaning ‘drug’ and logos
meaning ‘study’ or discourse
And a drug is always related to addiction and
mind and drug is differentiated into
psychotropic, therapeutic and competitive
drugs

Social engineering
Social engineering is a form of hacking that exploits human trust and helpfulness. It is done through impersonation, phone calls, email, or in-person interactions to obtain sensitive information. Anyone can be a target if the social engineer can build rapport and trust. Common techniques include pretending to need technical help, claiming to be from the same organization, or creating a sense of urgency or fear in the target. Education and strict security policies are needed to combat social engineering threats.
RNA polymerase
RNA polymerase is an enzyme that produces RNA in cells. It was discovered in 1960 and is essential for all organisms. In prokaryotes, a single RNA polymerase synthesizes different RNA types, while eukaryotic RNA polymerase is a multi-subunit enzyme. RNA polymerase I synthesizes rRNA for ribosomes, polymerase II synthesizes pre-mRNA and most snRNA/miRNA, and polymerase III synthesizes tRNA and other small RNAs. The transcription process involves initiation, elongation, and termination stages.
