Everything about Biological Agent totally explained
A
biological agent is an
infectious disease or
toxin that can be used in
bioterrorism or
biological warfare. There are more than 1200 different kinds of biological agents.
Biological agents include
prions,
viruses,
microorganisms (
bacteria and
fungi) and some unicellular and multicellular
eukaryotes (for example
parasites) and their associated toxins. They have the ability to adversely affect
human health in a variety of ways, ranging from
allergic reactions that are usually relatively mild, to serious medical conditions, even
death. These organisms are ubiquitous in the
natural environment; they're found in water, soil, plants, and animals. Because many biological agents reproduce rapidly and require minimal resources for preservation, they're a potential danger in a wide variety of occupational settings.
