Agroterrorism
Corrie Brown, DVM, PhD, is the Coordinator of International Veterinary
Medicine for the College of Veterinary Medicine at the University
of Georgia. Her discussion focuses on vulnerabilities in agriculture
as they relate to both accidental and intentional disease outbreaks.
During her talk, Dr. Brown describes: notable outbreaks, both in the
U.S. and abroad; the protocol for when an outbreak is suspected or
being investigated; and how the agricultural system is becoming increasingly
globalized. Finally, she explains three recent studies which have
focused on agroterrorism preparedness, and what has been done in light
of those studies in order to decrease vulnerabilities. (Lecture given
on January 8, 2003)
