What are the different kinds of biological hazards?

Answer 1

In today's day and age it would take a book to list all of the different biological hazards, their origin, consequences, affect on life forms, in addition to the how's and whens. Nonetheless, here are some biological groupings.

• Bacteria
• Micro Organisms
• Viruses
• Parasites
• fungi

The above is only one group. The issues to be concerned with are as follows:

• Their ability to cause infection ( in otherwise health individuals)
• The severity of the disease that may result
• The risk that the infection will spread to the community
• The availability of effective vaccines and treatment

I'm sure others who have more experience in this area can add on to the above. Viper1
