New virulence mechanisms in Yersinia pestis, the plague (Black Death)-causing bacterium: A re-emerging and bioterror pathogen
Yersinia pestis evolved from Y. pseudotuberculosis to become the causative agent of bubonic and pneumonic plague. Y. pestis is also a category A select agent based on its potential use as a biological weapon. Currently, there is no vaccine licensed in the United States for use against Y. pestis so …

Simulation and modelling to develop a nanopore-based device for ricin detection
… the design of diagnostic devices to detect the bioterror agent, ricin. The optimal signal-to-noise ratio occurred when ricin could occupy and interact in a stable manner within a pore cylinder that was similar in size, as predicted by the steric exclusion model of current blockage. …

Immunological and Molecular Techniques for Point-of-Care Diagnostics
… diseases or in the unfortunate event of a bioterror attack. In this work, two POC-friendly technologies have been developed and evaluated analytically and/or clinically. The first assay used embedded, microfabricated linear retroreflectors as bio-sensing surfaces and micron-sized magnetic …

Needle-free injection nozzle geometry
… vaccination in the face of pandemic influenza or bioterror emergencies. Jet injection, wherein drug is propelled at high pressure through a narrow orifice to create a high-speed fluid jet sufficient to penetrate tissue, is one of several needle-free methods for administration of drug. Despite …
