Abstract

Biological agents, including viruses, bacteria, toxins, and other microorganisms, pose significant threats to human, animal, and environmental health. This research article explores the diversity of biological agents, their characteristics, modes of transmission, and associated risks. It examines the potential uses of biological agents in bioterrorism and the implications for public health preparedness. The article also discusses current strategies and innovations in detection, surveillance, and countermeasures to mitigate the impact of biological threats on global security and health.
