2003 DEC 3 - (NewsRx.com & NewsRx.net) -- Domestic animals may be bioterrorism targets; broad health, economic damage possible.

According to a study from France, "after a brief historical introduction, the authors describe a list of pathogens likely to be used by bioterrorists to adversely affect animal health and production, and eventually human health in case of zoonotic agents.

"The selection criteria for these numerous pathogens as well as the means available for their procurement, manipulation, and dispersal are discussed. The potential consequences of this bioterrorism are evaluated mainly in economic terms," wrote J. Blancou and coauthors.

The researchers concluded: "The authors conclude that the threat of bioterrorism is serious, and suggest appropriate measures to prevent it or to limit its consequences."
