All these concepts must be studied and considered in the event of criminal use of biological agents (bioterrorism) aimed at harming human populations in time and in geographical space. In the light of recent concern and interest about the potential for biological terrorism (biofarware) there are several diseases and bacterial toxins that must be considered in particular, like anthrax [ 1 , 2 ] , smallpox [ 3 , 4 ] , plague [ 5 ] , botulinum toxin [ 6 ] , and tularemia [ 7 ] . ./cache/cord-017537-ztdz4a2s.txt ./txt/cord-017537-ztdz4a2s.txt
