Biological Surveillance is a form of monitoring used to detect the presence of biological agents that could be used in a bioterrorist attack. It involves the collection and analysis of environmental samples, such as air, water, and soil, to detect the presence of biological agents. Biological Surveillance is an important component of biodefense, as it can help to detect the presence of biological agents before they can be used in an attack.
Biological Surveillance is typically conducted by government agencies, such as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS). These agencies use a variety of methods to detect the presence of biological agents, including laboratory testing, remote sensing, and field sampling.
The Biological Surveillance market is composed of a variety of companies that provide products and services related to the detection and monitoring of biological agents. These companies include Bio-Rad Laboratories, Biotest AG, BioFire Defense, and Thermo Fisher Scientific. Show Less Read more
