It mainly applies to two different target populations, namely military combatant (troops in the field) and civilian non-combatant. The protection of food supplies and water are often considered a critical part of Biodefense. Owing to the increasing threat of terrorism and bioterrorism, the risk posed by exposure to biological agents that can be used as biological weapons must be evaluated. Biological agents used in warfare may prove to be more potent than conventional weapons. In the last century, the developments made in biochemistry and biotechnology have simplified the production of such weapons. Genetic engineering can be used to create new pathogens by manipulating genes, thereby giving rise to a whole new generation of genetically modified bioweapons. Factors such as ease of production, availability of technical know-how, and the extensive accessibility of biological agents have further led to the threat of biological weapons.
Scope of the Report: Government agencies are focusing on developing biodefense products in collaboration with pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies witnessing the growing threat of bioterrorism.
