Abstract

Today, the deliberate contamination of WATER AND FOOD supplies with BIOLOGICAL AGENTS is called BIOTERRORISM. This transmission mode is the second priority after the respiratory mode. BIOLOGICAL THREATs are created by pathogens and their toxins. Many toxins and pathogens are used in terrorism targets, for example Botulinum, Staphylococcus entrotoxin, Vibrio cholera, entero hemorrhagic Escherichia coli (EHEC), Ricin, Bacillus anthrasis, etc. Unfortunately, there are no vaccines available against them.Water and food contaminated with bioagents are not organoleptically diagnosable as there are usually no apparent changes in their color, smell and taste. Water treatment plants, subterranean water supplies, reservoirs of treated water, food warehouses and the lines of production, maintenance and distribution of food in the food industries are the most vulnerable points. The most limiting factor against these threats is the impossibility of a rapid diagnosis, hence the importance of "prevention. Generally, readiness before, during and after any crisis is a top priority. Raising public awareness, preserving and monitoring WATER AND FOOD supplies during and after biological attacks, implementing water treatment processes, particularly disinfection through chlorination and eventually employing rapid diagnostic techniques of BIOLOGICAL AGENTS are the most important preventive measures against BIOLOGICAL THREATs.
