Unveiling the silent threat: bioterrorism as a genuine global biosecurity threat

Abstract EN

The study of the complex and interconnected relationship between biosecurity and bioterrorism aims in several ways to raise awareness of the silent threat of bioterrorism, as a genuine biosecurity threat and advocates the necessity of understanding the intersection between biosecurity and bioterrorism, within the framework of global security policies.

by recognizing its secretive nature and the potential for devastating consequences, this study debates the challenges associated with detecting and preventing bioterrorist attacks, as well as the risks for governments and international organizations in effectively combating bioterrorism.

furthermore, it explores the implications of bioterrorist attacks, including the potential for widespread panic, economic disruptions, and strain on healthcare systems.

as well as, bioweaponization poses a profound and multifaceted threat to both international security and public health.

the repercussions of such activities can result in a health crisis, substantial human casualties, and severe economic and security ramifications in global biosecurity.
