Analysis and Prevention of the Realistic Threats of Bioterrorism

Abstract

At present, the abuse of biotechnology achievements is gradually escalating, and it has become the most urgent emerging biological threat source. The biosafety risks in laboratories are constantly escalating, and the procurement, transportation, transfer and research of virus samples often violate operational norms, posing a serious threat to public safety. From the perspective of the environment faced by China, the situation of anti-bioterrorism threat is not optimistic. There are still obvious shortcomings in internal risk control such as pathogenic microorganism laboratory safety. External risks such as biological virus transmission, biological weapon development, bioterrorism attack and biotechnology abuse continue to intensify, and new risk factors such as loss of biological genetic resources are making waves. All countries in the world should join hands to deal with the threat of bioterrorism.
