The future of biological warfare.
- Authors
Casadevall, Arturo
- Abstract
An essay is presented on the general themes that can be used in protecting against future horrors of biological warfare. It describes the three existential threats to humanity including thermonuclear war, impacts of asteroid, and infectious diseases. It discusses the environmental microbes as having much greater threat to humanity, and anticipates the continued concern on the use of biological weapons and the development of new technologies that will change the biological warfare landscape.
