News In
Brief
Tuesday
Bioterrorism may
pose threat to U.S.
Bioterrorism could pose a threat
to the United States in the 21st
century, Dr. Tam Garland, a re
search associate of toxicology
said. Garland is a moderator for
ProMed, which reports outbreaks
and studies of emerging diseases
in more than 100 countries.
Garland said livestock, crops and
water supplies could be potential
targets for bioterrorist attacks,
which could disrupt food supplies in
some regions for weeks or months.
Agencies such as the Animal
and Plant Health Inspection Ser
vice, the Texas Department of
Health and the Texas Animal
Health Commission have tried to
address problems associated with
bioterrorism and have created
emergency-response teams.
Garland said she does not want
to scare people, but does want
people to know bioterrorism is a
serious problem.
