Title: Biosecurity: Moving toward a Comprehensive Approach
Publisher: American Institute of Biological Sciences
Description: Biosecurity itself is more than a buzzword; it is the vital work of strategy, efforts, and planning to protect
human, animal, and environmental health against biological threats. The primary goal of biosecurity is to protect against the risk posed by disease and organisms; the primary tools of biosecurity are exclusion, eradication, and control, supported by expert system management, practical protocols, and the rapid and efficient securing and sharing of vital information. Biosecurity is therefore the sum of risk management practices in defense against biological threats. (NASDA 2001, p. 1)
