Bioterrorism Threats

Select a potential bioterrorism threat from the following:

• Anthrax
• Food supply contamination

Using the South University Online Library or the Internet, research on your selected potential bioterrorism threat. Based on your research, create a 3- to 4-page Microsoft Word report that covers the following aspects in detail:

• The main surveillance methods used in public health that could also be used to detect a bioterrorism threat.
• The basic functions of all levels of government―federal, state, and local―when responding to a possible bioterrorism threat.
• The existing surveillance systems and their adequacy to meet emergency preparedness needs.

Support your responses with examples.
