dc.description.abstractThe possibility of terrorist groups utilizing biological weapons against states and countries is a mounting concern which has increasingly attracted the attention and resources of the world. This study sets out to examine the issue of biological terrorism and its potential threat to public health and national security. This was achieved using baseline information and data generated through related reported studies. Bioterrorism was found to be an ‘entirely possible’, potent, emerging threat to public health, national and international security leading to public health emergency, intimidation of the affected governments and national security vulnerability. Overcoming these challenges calls for the introduction and implementation of new, effective, potent, practical and workable plan and strategies to enhance preparedness, early detection, rapid investigation and quick response in order to stem its devastating effects among human population, animals and environment.en_US
