Online published on 5 May, 2018. Abstract Lack of ‘war ethics’ lead to quite a few interesting occurrences of biological as well as chemical warfare, and shows us that nearly every advanced biochemical weapon today has an ancient prototype. Understanding the unique aspects of these agents can help in preparing for such disasters with the intent of mitigating injury and loss of life. Chemical agents are solids, liquids, or gases, which, through their chemical properties, produce lethal or damaging effects in man, animals, plants, or materials. Biological agents are also the only group in which secondary person-to-person transmission can occur. The AIDS Plague will affect society in ways that you cannot now imagine. AIDS is 100% fatal. Scientists and medical research people are not optimistic about an immediate cure to [or] vaccine. Prisoner microbiologists worked on a variety of new weapons and vaccines, including bubonic plague and tularemia (rabbit fever). By World War II the Soviets were prepared to retaliate vigorously to any use by the Germans of chemical and biological warfare agents. Antibiotic resistances, and recombinant DNA technology all very, very useful to the Soviet effort in biowar. It is important to assess the risk of potential threats, thereby allowing disaster planning and preparation to be proportional and aligned with the actual casuality event. Neurological complications of chemical, biological and explosive weapons which have or may be used by terrorists are reviewed by international experts in some review article publication. Management and treatment profiles are outlined. Top Keywords Chemical agents, Biological agents, Weapons, World War. Top |
