Summary, Etc. Note: |
Summary: This book "provides the resource information and state-of-the-art principles and practices that are critical to maintaining a safe environment when working with biohazardous agents and materials. New features include chapters on indigenous pathogens of animals and plants, biohazards associated with cell cultures, prions, allergies to animals and to latex, bioterrorism, and biosafety on the internet. Toxins and specifically 'pfiesteria' are also addressed."--Page xv. |
