Related Diseases

1.	Smallpox (Variola) 03/22/2005 - "Although eradicated from nature more than two decades ago, the threat of smallpox has reemerged because of concerns over its use as a biological weapon. " 02/01/2010 - "Currently, there is a need to develop safe and effective inhibitors for poxvirus-induced diseases such as smallpox caused by variola, which is a potential biological warfare agent. " 05/01/2011 - "Naturally occurring smallpox has been eradicated, yet it remains as one of the highest priority pathogens due to its potential as a biological weapon. " 12/17/2002 - "Smallpox was eradicated worldwide in 1977, but knowledge of the disease is essential because its cause, variola virus, is considered a potential biological weapon." 01/01/2020 - "Smallpox, caused by variola virus, was eradicated in 1980, but remains a category A bioterrorism agent. "
2.	Infections 08/01/2017 - "Francisella novicida is a gram-negative pathogen commonly used to study infections by the potential bioterrorism agent, Francisella tularensis. " 02/01/2016 - "Francisella novicida is a surrogate pathogen commonly used to study infections by the potential bioterrorism agent, Francisella tularensis. " 05/15/2006 - "Probability of real-time detection versus probability of infection for aerosolized biowarfare agents: a model study." 07/06/2022 - "However, incidences of monkeypox virus infection in humans have occurred sporadically, and there is also great fear that engineered forms of poxvirus could be used as biological weapons. " 01/01/2020 - "Bacillus anthracis as a biological warfare agent: infection, diagnosis and countermeasures."
3.	Plague (Bubonic Plague) 01/01/2012 - "pestis as a possible bioterrorism agent and the fact that it is still the cause of endemic disease around the world make it an important object of study and heighten the need for new anti-plague agents. " 07/01/2007 - "In this study, a mathematical compartment model was used to describe the geographical and temporal spread of an epidemic of pneumonic plague following its use as a biological weapon. " 02/01/2022 - "Yersinia pestis, the cause of plague and a potential biological weapon, has always been a threatening pathogen. " 01/01/2022 - "This plague bacillus has been used as a biological weapon during human history and is currently one of the deadliest biological threats. " 07/01/2021 - "Yersinia pestis (causative agent of Plague) also being an important bioterrorism agent, clinicians need to pay special attention to diagnose and microbiologists must be provided skilled training for laboratory confirmation to this pestilential disease for effective and timely management."
4.	Anthrax 10/17/2022 - "Bacillus anthracis can cause anthrax and is a potential bioterrorism agent. " 04/01/2022 - "anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax and a deadly bioterrorism agent that would cause major disruptions and damage to public health should it be disseminated over an urban area. " 08/01/2021 - "Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent of anthrax is one of the most potent listed biological warfare agents. " 08/01/2020 - "Anthrax is a potential biological weapon and can be used in an air-borne or mail attack, such as in the attack in the United States in 2001. " 06/24/2020 - "Bacillus anthracis, the causative agent for anthrax, is a dangerous pathogen to humans and has a history as a bioterrorism agent. "
5.	Zoonoses 11/01/2020 - "The increasing need to manage biosecurity threats, such as diseases, zoonoses, and biological weapons, poses serious challenges for risk analysts and policymakers. " 01/01/2012 - "Orthopoxviruses remain a threat as biological weapons and zoonoses. " 07/01/2011 - "We still face a threat of orthopoxviruses in the form of biological weapons and emerging zoonoses. " 09/15/2008 - "Practically all potential bioterrorism agents are zoonoses, and it is cost-effective to control them at the veterinary level, providing the first line of defense. " 02/01/2011 - "Although smallpox has been eliminated from the environment, treatments are urgently being sought due to the risk of smallpox being used as a bioterrorism agent and for monkeypox virus, a zoonotic disease of Africa, and adverse reactions to smallpox virus vaccinations.
