Difference between Bioterrorism and Select agent

Bioterrorism vs. Select agent

Bioterrorism is terrorism involving the intentional release or dissemination of biological agents. Under United States law, "Biological Select Agents or Toxins" (BSATs) — or simply select agents for short — are bio-agents which since 1997 have been declared by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) or by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to have the "potential to pose a severe threat to public health and safety".

Similarities between Bioterrorism and Select agent

Bioterrorism and Select agent have 26 things in common (in Unionpedia): Abrin, Biological agent, Bolivian hemorrhagic fever, Botulinum toxin, Burkholderia mallei, Burkholderia pseudomallei, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Clostridium perfringens, Coxiella burnetii, Eastern equine encephalitis, Ebola virus, Foot-and-mouth disease, Francisella tularensis, Henipavirus, Lassa virus, Law of the United States, Marburg virus, Ricin, Rickettsia prowazekii, Smallpox, Spanish flu, United States Department of Agriculture, United States Department of Health and Human Services, Venezuelan equine encephalitis virus, Yersinia pestis, 2001 anthrax attacks.

Abrin
