Without biotechnology, the detection, identification and diagnoses of,  and medical countermeasures to such weapons would be virtually  impossible. As biological and toxin agents occur in natural outbreaks  of disease or intoxications, there are both civil and military benefit  to be had from the use of biotechnology in providing effective  countermeasures to such agents. \u003cbr\u003e  The role of biotechnology in countering biological and toxin weapons  is here addressed under seven major headings: \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e  The wider political and economic contexts; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e Enabling  technologies for BTW agent detection; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e The applicability of  biotechnological methods for BTW agent detection on the battlefield,  in a terrorist incident, and in an inspection environment; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e  Pre-exposure medical countermeasures; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e Diagnosis and  identification; \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e Post-exposure treatment and decontamination;  \u003c\/li\u003e  \u003cli\u003e Contribution of biotechnology to strengthening international  conventions against BTW agents.\u003c\/li\u003e  \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2001-03-31\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9780792369066\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-010-0775-7\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 240cm x160cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 336\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47662002897036,"sku":"9780792369066","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9780792369066.jpg?v=1776434535","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9780792369066","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
