Bioterrorism ((2 Credits))

Catalog description

This course will cover the study of some biological organisms and toxins that may be used as weapons. This includes examining the type of organism (bacteria, virus, etc.) and the mechanism by which they are harmful. In the process, students will study the means by which their use can be prevented, appropriate defensive strategies and therapies that can be used to treat those who are affected by an attack. This course will focus on the biological aspects of bioterrorism, more than on the social, economic, or political aspects.
