This book describes an adaptable biothreat assessment process to complement overall biorisk management programs, incorporating threat management and the unique natures of biological assets. Further, this book examines the nexus between public health, international security, and developing technologies, building a case for augmenting biosecurity to levels beyond the laboratory constraints. With the face of biological and biomedical sciences changing, this book describes how with proper biosecurity development, these can become assets, rather than liabilities, to secure our world from natural and man-made biological disasters. The world is changing rapidly with respect to developing threats, such as terrorism, and dual-use technologies, such as synthetic biology, that are challenging how we think about biosafety and biosecurity. Further, the fields of public health and international security are colliding, as both of these share the common enemy: intentional or natural biological incidents. To date, biosecurity has been limited to laboratory-level application, and complicating efforts, and lacks credentialed biosecurity professionals skilled in both the biological sciences and threat management techniques. The result is a fragmented field of practice, with tremendous need, from the lab to the outbreak. Underpinning these principles is the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus pandemic, providing a historic milestone to examine biosecurity through a global lens. This book describes biosecurity as a set of practices and principles to be augmented out of the constrained laboratory environment, and applied to larger efforts, such as international threat reduction and biological incident management.

The BIOLOGICAL LABORATORY APPLIED BIOSECURITY AND BIORISK MANAGEMENT GUIDE is a definitive and comprehensive tutorial text that, for the first time, provides a specific reference for training Biorisk and Biosecurity students or other biological community professionals. The topics included range from a clear, concise definition of Biorisk from a laboratory biosecurity perspective, biosafety/biosecurity comparisons and contracts, U.S. and WHO regulations and guidance, a unique laboratory biorisk assessment model, bio-terrorism reality, public health issues, research topics, laboratory physical security, emergency planning, export control and conducting business in foreign countries among other germane topics of interest.The cascading events in the aftermath of 9/11/2001, and the biological attacks that immediately followed have given rise to a significant proliferation of biological laboratories working with dangerous pathogens both domestically and internationally. The quest to develop effective medical countermeasures, conduct research, and provide safe and secure laboratory environments has also resulted in significant increases in funding. The expansion of this capacity has also resulted in the creation of a myriad of legislation, regulations and guidelines that are designed to protect laboratory staff, the public and ensure that these pathogens are properly secured. Ultimately, the convergence of these issues has contributed to the emergence of a new security subject matter expert category, Biological Security Professional. Currently there exists very few security management professionals specifically trained in biological security and biorisk management, to meet the needs and demand world-wide. The intent of this manual is to provide the fundamental information for new security practitioners just entering the field and the more experienced professional that is seeking to transition into the field of biological laboratory security and biorisk management. There is compelling evidence suggesting that the need for the biosecurity specialty subject matter expert will continue to grow exponentially in the near and long term, throughout the world. The ultimate goal is to assist in the proliferation of One Health world-wide and to create a professional discipline to prevent and mitigate the full spectrum of biological risks, threats and vulnerabilities

Aeromicrobiology provides a detailed and systematic analysis of the microbial communities and toxins collectively called bioaerosols that can be found in air. It provides information on the basics of Aeromicrobiology, the fate and transport of microorganisms in air, and the fundamental differences between intramural and extramural Aeromicrobiology. Leaning heavily on the current state of science, detailed information on the sampling and analysis of bioaerosol samples is provided. Subsequent chapters comprehensively discuss various airborne microbial groups and toxins, while the final chapter is dedicated to bioaerosol control strategies, biosafety, and biosecurity. There are limited resources on Aeromicrobiology. In rare instances where there are resources on Aeromicrobiology, they are often restricted to chapters in books or even supplementary materials. The emergence of new airborne pathogens, the aerosolization of microorganisms hitherto believed not to be airborne, and the proliferation of technologies for sampling, analysis, and control of bioaerosols makes it imperative for this title, which streamlines and succinctly presents the new body of knowledge in the field. Leans heavily on current state-of-the-art technologies used in sampling and analysis of bioaerosol samples such as metagenomics and sensor-based, hybrid technologies, among others Dedicates considerable attention to airborne and droplet-borne viruses, against the background of SARS-CoV-2 and related pathogens Comprehensively attends to regulatory aspects of bioaerosol control, highlighting various policies and regulations aimed at achieving biosecurity and curbing bioterrorism Helps researchers and policy makers in various fields who are often confronted with the need for basic information delivered in seamless style without loss of essential content

Managing biosecurity is everybody’s business. The book’s multi-site, multi-sectoral research contributes to an holistic, evidence-based strategy for managing plant biosecurity in complex contexts. The intent is to provide a starting point for all stakeholders in the biosecurity endeavor – policy personnel at all levels of governance, planners and regional developers, non-government organizations, community groups and individuals – to plan localized strategies that ‘fit’ national needs and constraints and the way people live their lives. In putting forward a ‘strategy’, we draw on many disciplines and cultural perspectives on a problem that is fundamentally a multidisciplinary and global issue. At the same time, the contributing researchers remain aware that such a strategy is always subject to local contextual factors and influences, indigenous and local knowledge and culture, and is regarded as a tool for planning, always subject to change.

During July 10-13, 2011, 68 participants from 32 countries gathered in Istanbul, Turkey for a workshop organized by the United States National Research Council on Anticipating Biosecurity Challenges of the Global Expansion of High-containment Biological Laboratories. The United States Department of State's Biosecurity Engagement Program sponsored the workshop, which was held in partnership with the Turkish Academy of Sciences. The international workshop examined biosafety and biosecurity issues related to the design, construction, maintenance, and operation of high-containment biological laboratories- equivalent to United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention biological safety level 3 or 4 labs. Although these laboratories are needed to characterize highly dangerous human and animal pathogens, assist in disease surveillance, and produce vaccines, they are complex systems with inherent risks. Biosecurity Challenges of the Global Expansion of High-Containment Biological Laboratories summarizes the workshop discussion, which included the following topics: Technological options to meet diagnostic, research, and other goals; Laboratory construction and commissioning; Operational maintenance to provide sustainable capabilities, safety, and security; and Measures for encouraging a culture of responsible conduct. Workshop attendees described the history and current challenges they face in their individual laboratories. Speakers recounted steps they were taking to improve safety and security, from running training programs to implementing a variety of personnel reliability measures. Many also spoke about physical security, access controls, and monitoring pathogen inventories. Workshop participants also identified tensions in the field and suggested possible areas for action.

Global health diplomacy begins with a recognition that the most effective international health interventions are carried out with sensitivity to historical, political, social, economic, and cultural differences. It focuses on the interplay of globalization, economic interdependence, social justice, and the enlightened self-interests of nations. Global health diplomacy can help sustain peace and economic stability in a globalized world, but the skills necessary for this endeavour are not taught in standard health sciences curricula or in Foreign Service academies. However, they bear directly on the success of international health cooperation, be it from the global north to the global south or south-to-south cooperation. Global health diplomacy can be a critical pathway to assure good global governance and improved international relations among the great powers and between these powers and the developing world. It can be a mechanism to avert conflict and to augment health, peace, solidarity, economic progress, and multinational cooperation.

The book describes how to handle hazardous materials in various Biosafety levels, use microbiological good laboratory practices and maintenance of various biosafety cabinets. It is written with the needs of biosafety and biosecurity in mind. The same procedure is fully applicable whenever biohazard materials are handled in life science laboratories. The manual encourages persons who engage in the microbiology laboratory to accept and implement basic concepts in biological safety and to develop national codes of practice for the safe handling of pathogenic microorganisms in laboratories within their geographical borders. It provides international leadership in biosafety by addressing biological safety and security issues facing us in the current millennium. This book stresses the importance of personal responsibility, risk assessment, safe use of recombinant DNA technology, and transport of infectious materials. Recent world events have revealed new threats to public health through deliberate misuse and release of microbiological agents and toxins. The book introduces biosecurity concepts - the protection of microbiological assets from theft, loss, or diversion, which could lead to the inappropriate use of these agents to cause public health harm.
