Combatting Biological Threats

Combatting biological threats involves identifying and addressing risks posed by harmful microorganisms, such as bacteria, viruses, and toxins, that can affect human health, agriculture, and the environment. This includes prevention, surveillance, and response strategies to detect outbreaks early, contain infections, and develop effective treatments and vaccines. It also encompasses regulating research and biosecurity measures to prevent misuse of biological materials. Collaborative efforts among governments, scientists, and public health organizations are essential to reduce vulnerabilities and protect communities from potential biological attacks or natural outbreaks, ensuring safety and resilience against such threats.
