Abstract

Despite heightened surveillance and intensified efforts to develop new therapies, vaccines, and other biodefense countermeasures, the development and deployment of better diagnostic and monitoring procedures continue to be among the weak links in the overall U.S. biodefense strategy, according to several participants who spoke during the opening session of the 2005 ASM Biodefense Research Meeting, held in Washington, D.C., last February.
