Pathogens 1
Pathogens 1 :
Pathogens are disease-causing bacteria, viruses, and rickettsiae. These agents could be used to target food supplies, port facilities, or population centers. Of particular concern is the threat of contagious diseases such as smallpox. Agents that have a long incubation period can infect a large number of people in a short period of time without immediate symptoms or warning signs.
