Grand Challenges for Biosafety and Biosecurity
Success in the prevention and treatment of infectious diseases has saved more lives than any other achievement of medical science. The three greatest advances have been clean water, immunization, and the advent of antibiotics and, more recently, antivirals. Despite this record of success, we are far from conquering the grand challenge to human health posed by microbes. All that has been achieve...
متن کامل[Critical reflection on the invisibility of biosafety and biosecurity].
Gostaria de destacar no artigo em debate a sua atualidade e a perspectiva de não redução da biossegurança a procedimentos de avaliação de risco, ampliando-a para um escopo que inclui sua contextualização fundamental para atitudes precaucionárias tanto no nível individual, como no social e no institucional. As autoras iniciam seu artigo conceituando o campo da biossegurança. Faz um contraponto a...
متن کاملBSL-3 Laboratory User Training Program at NUITM-KEMRI
Pathogens handled in a Biosafety Level 3 (BSL-3) containment laboratory pose significant risks to laboratory staff and the environment. It is therefore necessary to develop competency and proficiency among laboratory workers and to promote appropriate behavior and practices that enhance safety through biosafety training. Following the installation of our BSL-3 laboratory at the Center for Micro...
متن کاملBiosafety and Biosecurity: A Relative Risk-Based Framework for Safer, More Secure, and Sustainable Laboratory Capacity Building
BACKGROUND Laboratory capacity building is characterized by a paradox between endemicity and resources: countries with high endemicity of pathogenic agents often have low and intermittent resources (water, electricity) and capacities (laboratories, trained staff, adequate regulations). Meanwhile, countries with low endemicity of pathogenic agents often have high-containment facilities with cost...
متن کاملBiosafety Training and Incident-reporting Practices in the United States: A 2008 Survey of Biosafety Professionals.
Concern over the adequacy of biosafety training and incident-reporting practices within biological laboratories in the United States has risen in recent years due to the increase in research on infectious diseases and the concomitant rise in the number of biocontainment laboratories. Reports of laboratory-acquired infections and delays in reporting such incidents have also contributed to the co...
