The Bio-threat

Details

Description

Infectious diseases kill more than 17 million people each year, yet the biological agents responsible only make headlines during horrifying epidemics, like the Ebola outbreak of 2014, or following a terrorist attack like the 2001 anthrax letter attacks.

The Biothreat is one of the most serious global security challenges today, but what is it? Is enough being done to prevent catastrophe?
