41. Anthrax And Biological Weapons. This web site describes the biology of anthrax and other biological weapons showing that they are hyped as part of an antiterrorist campaigm.By Gary Novak http://nov55.com/biow.html

NOV Biological Weapons As Disinformation Anthrax and botulism are not significant biological weapons. They are promoted for disinformation purposes. Anthrax Botulism A Biologist's Perspective The public is being propagandized on biological weapons, because some persons in the dark cellars of government are trying to get public support for an anti-terrorist campaign including increased police powers. Journalists and bureaucrats run wild with their imaginations, because they do not have a clue as to the biology of the subject. The reason why the diseases in question are not significant biological weapons is because they cannot be gotten into humans in significant quantities. The question is environmental conditions and delivery systems. Diseases are so specialized and demanding in their requirements that they will not do something beyond which they normally do. Therefore, the whole concept of bioweapons is unrealistic—that is, as military style weapons. However, militaries are researching contagious diseases, which is where the real problem is at. A lot of experts describe the pathology of anthrax as if it were an imminent peril. The pathology doesn't tell us whether Iraq or terrorists can weaponize the spores. They can't. Iraq uses anthrax in liquid form, which is totally ineffective.

42. Die Zeit Ein Bericht ¼ber die Ermittlungen zu den t¶dlichen Milzbrandbriefen. http://www.zeit.de/2002/29/Wissen/200229_m-anthrax.html

Sitemap Mediadaten Hilfe Impressum ... Wissen B I O W A F F E N Die Suche nach Mr. Anthrax Wer hat die tödlichen Milzbrandbriefe verschickt? Blick in die Abgründe einer Ermittlung Von Thomas Kleine-Brockhoff Am 9. November vergangenen Jahres, als Briefe mit giftigem Anthrax-Pulver die Amerikaner ängstigen und vier Menschen schon tot sind, veröffentlicht das FBI ein "Täterprofil". Es sei "sehr wahrscheinlich, fast schon sicher", heißt es, dass "eine einzelne Person" für die Anschläge verantwortlich sei. Dieser Mann habe "wahrscheinlich eine wissenschaftliche Ausbildung" und arbeite "vielleicht in einem Labor". Er leide unter einer psychosozialen Störung, könne schwer auf andere Menschen zugehen oder Konflikte lösen. Und, wichtig: "Die Person" sei wahrscheinlich Amerikaner. Gut ein halbes Jahr später läuft der Bioterrorist noch immer frei herum. Aber das FBI hat jetzt den Namen einer "Person des Interesses" genannt, deren Biografie und Charakter ziemlich genau zum Täterprofil passen. Der Mann ist mehrmals verhört worden, hat sich einem Test mit dem Lügendetektor unterziehen und sein Haus zur Durchsuchung freigeben müssen. Doch das FBI nimmt den Mann nicht fest und vermeidet es, ihn einen "Verdächtigen" zu nennen. Diese seltsame Episode eröffnet den Blick in eine höchst mysteriöse Untersuchung und zugleich in die geheimnisumwitterte Welt der amerikanischen Biowaffenabwehr. Was in den vergangenen Tagen bekannt geworden ist, wirft viele Fragen auf, vor allem eine: Gibt es eine Macht, die will, dass Mr. Anthrax ein Phantom bleibt?

U.S. Department of Labor www.osha.gov [skip navigational links] Search Advanced Search A-Z Index Anthrax in the Workplace In October 2001, four workers died from inhalation anthrax and an additional 13 developed cutaneous or inhalational disease as a result of intentional terrorist activity. In most cases seen thus far, the disease was linked to unexpected workplace exposures to anthrax spores contained in letters mailed through the United States Postal Service. Fortunately, the number of workplaces contaminated with the spores has also been quite limited. Nevertheless, employers and workers are concerned about possible exposure to Bacillus anthracis in the workplace. Risk Reduction Matrix This matrix was developed to offer basic advice and suggest protective measures that OSHA believes will reduce the risk of exposure in light of current concerns about the presence of anthrax spores in the workplace. This matrix is not intended to establish a legal standard of care with respect to anthrax spores in the workplace. These recommendations do not impose and are not intended to result in the imposition of any new legal obligations or constraints on employers or the states.

The decision to vaccinate all 1.4 million military men and women was made in December, but the program wasn't expected to begin until this summer. But given the crisis in Iraq, officials decided to move up the vaccination campaign. "Immunization of our troops is a prudent action," Defense Secretary William Cohen said in a statement. Gen. Anthony Zinni, commander of U.S. troops in the Gulf, requested the move in light of the ongoing threat of a possible attack with the biological agent, which Iraqi President Saddam Hussein is known to have developed and put on weapons, Pentagon officials said. However, Pentagon planners think it's unlikely that Hussein would resort to using anthrax weapons, because it would prove that critics who warned of the possibility were right.

It is a disease which has existed for hundreds of years and which still occurs naturally in both animals and humans in many parts of the world, including Asia, southern Europe, sub-Sahelian Africa and parts of Australia. Anthrax bacteria can survive in the environment by forming spores. In its most common natural form, it creates dark sores on the skin, from which it derives its name. Anthrax is Greek for coal. Q. What's happening right now? A. WHO posts updated situation reports whenever there is an outbreak of anthrax or any other infectious disease on its Web site Q.

The Role of Disease Surveillance in the Watch for Agro-terrorism or Economic Sabotage FAS addresses these issues through public education and international collaboration. The project's operational arm, ILIAD-Tanzania , is a pilot test of a surveillance system designed for remote rural areas in developing or reorganizing countries. Eschewing passive surveillance in favor of a pro-active, response-oriented, continuously operating network that begins at the village level, this system offers the promise of timely and accurate disease detection, diagnosis, prevention, and control. As a fully collaborative program between veterinary service workers, local farmers, wildlife conservation personnel and local governments, it provides a logistical framework for treatment, education and outbreak reporting. It is anticipated that the program will, over time, alleviate poverty in remote villages by increasing livestock and poultry production, control zoonotic diseases in human populations, and prevent disease epidemics in wild animal populations.

CBC COVERAGE F A Q Biological Warfare The use of biological and chemical weapons is considered the most heinous type of warfare. When it was first tried on a large scale in 1915, at Ypres, France, against French, Algerian and Canadian troops, the German High Command had a hard time finding officers who would participate in the use of poison gas against an enemy. It was considered unchivalrous, indiscriminate, dangerous and possibly setting a precedent for reprisal. Not to mention illegal, under The Hague convention on rules of warfare. Nowadays, the idea of taking advantage of the ability of bacteria to reproduce, mutate and produce toxins makes some experts fear the use of biological weapons more than nuclear weapons. Here's a look at biological and chemical weapons, their history and application in warfare. What are biological and chemical weapons?

By John Eldridge , Editor of Jane's NBC Protection Equipment Recent publicity surrounding the Anthrax cases in Florida has caused alarm among the general public about the potential terrorist use of biological warfare (BW). However, while the Al-Qaeda network has identified chemical, biological and, indeed, nuclear weapons as attractive additions to its armoury, there is still a large technical gulf to be bridged before disease cultures can be bred or precursor chemicals acquired for the creation of chemical weapons. That said, anthrax comes in the form of a hardy spore and, correctly prepared, could be introduced, for example, into a building ventilation system to cause injury. Some other pathogens, identified in Western defence circles among the top 10 biological agents, are highly infectious. These, such as smallpox and plague, are highly dangerous to use as weapons since, once released, they risk potentially becoming a global problem and can find their way back into the perpetrators' camp.

NATIONAL NEWS October 22, 2001 Investigating Anthrax The government works to reassure and protect Americans from this rare disease Check out the latest TFK headlines Get the inside scoop on our TFK reporters! A disease called anthrax has been in the news ever since a man in Florida came down with a case of it last month. Since then, a total of nine confirmed cases of anthrax have been reported in Florida, New York, New Jersey and Washington D.C. Cases of anthrax are very rare in the U.S. Officials believe these people may have become infected by handling contaminated letters. A woman in Washington D.C. holds a bottle filled with the antibiotic medication that fights anthrax. Investigators are looking for clues about where the letters came from and why someone would want to spread anthrax. Anthrax can be cured with antibiotics, powerful medication that fights bacteria. Still, medical and government experts are telling people to use care when opening their mail, especially if they don't know who sent it. Postmaster General John Potter announced that the Postal Service would soon mail "a postcard to everyone in America" instructing people how to handle mail more carefully. What is Anthrax?

Blood Therapeutics Vaccines Allergenics ... About Us Anthrax Anthrax is an infectious disease caused by spores of the bacterium, Bacillus anthracis . The B. anthracis spores are highly resistant to inactivation and may be present in the soil, for example, for decades, occasionally infecting grazing animals that ingest the spores. Goats, sheep and cattle are examples of animals that may become infected. Human infection may occur by three routes of exposure to anthrax spores: cutaneous (through the skin), gastrointestinal (by ingestion), and pulmonary (inhalation). In North America, human cases of anthrax are infrequent. However, the United States military views anthrax as a potential biological terrorism threat because the spores are so resistant to destruction and can be easily spread by release in the air. The development of anthrax as a biological weapon by several foreign countries has been documented. Human anthrax cases can occur in 3 forms. Cutaneous infection is the most common manifestation of anthrax in humans, accounting for more than 95 percent of cases. Ingestion of undercooked or raw, infected meat can cause gastrointestinal anthrax infection. Breathing in airborne spores may lead to inhalation anthrax. The mortality rates from anthrax vary, depending on exposure, and are approximately 20% for cutaneous anthrax without antibiotics and 25 - 75% for gastrointestinal anthrax; inhalation anthrax has a fatality rate that is 80% or higher. Cutaneous anthrax can usually be successfully treated with antibiotics. An efficacy supplement for Ciprofloxacin was approved on August 30, 2000 for inhalation anthrax (post-exposure).

What is anthrax? Anthrax is an acute infectious disease caused by the spore-forming bacterium Bacillus anthracis. It most commonly occurs in mammals such as cattle, sheep, goats, camels and antelopes, but can also occur in humans when they are exposed to infected animals or tissue from infected animals. 2. How common is anthrax and who can get it? Anthrax is most common in agricultural regions where it occurs in animals. Humans infected with anthrax usually have been exposed to infected animals or their products through their occupations. Workers who are exposed to dead animals and animal products from other countries where anthrax is more common may become infected with Bacillus anthracis. 3. How is anthrax transmitted?
