生物恐怖袭击防控初探

Preliminary study on the prevention and control of bioterrorism

生物恐怖袭击的历史表明,生物恐怖袭击有可能在人群中散布病原体、袭击特定人群、通过食物链传播、通过实验室等要害部门制造灾难、生物手段的经济战以及其他生物灾难效果。应对、防范措施应从源头上堵住病原体外泄,建立生化监控和预警机制,开发高危病原体快速诊断、防治技术,建立灾难处理预案和快速反应机制。政府在灾难处理中应居核心地位,协调各部门、设立统筹机构,并资助生物反恐的科技研发。

History showed that biological terrorist attacks were likely to spread pathogens widely in public, assault specific groups of people, disseminate through the food chain, and cause disasters through laboratories, economic warfare by biological means and other calamitous biological effects. Therefore, corresponding preventive and control measures should include the blockage at the source of pathogens, establishment of chemical and biological surveillance and early warning mechanisms, development of rapid diagnosis, prevention and management of high-risk pathogens, and installation of disaster management plans and rapid response mechanisms. The government is to be the core in the handling of the disaster to coordinate various departments, set up coordinating institutions and fund the research and development of anti-bioterrorism technology.
