Çeşitli biyolojik etkenler, terörizm açısından potansiyel bir riske sahiptirler. Parazitler; genel olarak orta dereceliyayılım, orta düzeyde morbidite ve düşük mortalite göstermeleri nedeniyle CDC tarafından ikinci derecede önemesahip biyolojik silah/biyoterörizm ajanları Kategori B arasında sınıflandırılmışlardır. Bu derlemede henüz biyolojiksilah ajanı olarak rolü yeni anlaşılmaya başlayan parazitlerin potansiyel biyoterörizm özellikleri, biyogüvenlikçalışmaları ve çalışmaların yürütüleceği laboratuvarların biyogüvenlik koşulları güncel yayınlar ışığında tartışılmıştır

Anahtar Kelimeler

Biyoterörizm , biyogüvenlik , parazitler

Parasites As Biological Weapons

Various biological agents have petonsial risk for use as weapons of terrorism. Parasites have been categorisedas second class Category B biological weapons/bioterorism agents by CDC because of their low mortality,low morbitity and slow contamination properties in general. In this review, parasites whose role as potensialbioterrorism agents had beeen understood recently were discussed regarding to their potential bioterrorismproperties, biosafety studies and also biosafety conditions of laboratories where the studies are conducted
