Both NATO and the civilian spheres have to be prepared for rapid recognition, identification, prevention and treatment of such potential risks. This volume will summarize projects aiming to detect risks of biological toxins, superantigens and the modeling of their effects. Potential risks, detection and prevention of chronic and zoonotic infections will be summarized in addition to interaction of human pathogens affecting biological risks.

Experimental vaccines and therapeutics including a new smallpox vaccine are included.IOS Press is an international sc
