BIOTERRORISM, UNDERSTANDING

It's a scary world out there and the more we know about lethal biological agents the better we will be able to prepare for even the most unlikely terrorist attack. The list of bacteria, viruses, and toxins is long, including anthrax, plague, botulism, cholera, smallpox, tularemia, Q fever, and Glanders. What are these agents? How would they be used and what diseases would they trigger? What is a vaccine? Should our nation be vaccinated against smallpox? How is the CDC combating SARS, the origin of which is still unknown?
