Abstract

This article presents a brief history of the use of biological agents in warfare and bioterrorism. Bacillus anthracis, smallpox virus, and Yersinia pestis, historically have been and currently are considered the most likely candidates for potential use under these circumstances. This article discusses the clinical syndromes these agents cause and the role of vaccines in protection against them.
