Biological Threats

Biological threats refer to risks posed by harmful organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, or toxins, that can cause illness or harm to humans, animals, and plants. These threats can emerge naturally, like outbreaks of diseases, or be deliberately created, such as in bioterrorism. They can spread rapidly and have significant impacts on public health, the economy, and security. Preparedness and response strategies, including surveillance, vaccine development, and public awareness, are crucial to mitigate these threats and protect society from their potential consequences.
