Abstract

Abstract: Bioterrorism attacks and biological warfare are major threats to the world today. Once it happens, they will not only do great harm to human beings, animals and plants, but also cause social unrest and economic losses. Biosafety materials provide with important defense to ensure biosafety, which provides methods for biosafety protection. The development of biosafety materials, which can be used to efficiently detect, eliminate and block the microorganisms that can lead to biological weapons, is an indispensable means to deal with bioterrorism attacks and biological warfare in the future. In this paper, we reviewed the common microorganisms used in the preparation of biological weapons. According to the types of microorganisms, the reported biosafety materials for bioterrorism attacks and biological warfare are summarized, and the prospects are put forward at the end of the paper.

Key words: Bioterrorism attacks, Biological warfare, Biological weapons, Biosafety materials
