| Abstract(esp): | Esta investigación explora la creciente vulnerabilidad humana ante el uso de armas biológicas, destacando el bioterrorismo como una práctica de alto impacto, contagio y mortalidad. El bioterrorismo se caracteriza por la utilización de agentes biológicos con gran 13 capacidad de propagación y transmisión, generando pánico y respondiendo a los ideales de grupos terroristas. La problemática radica en la naturaleza insidiosa de estos ataques, que pueden ocurrir sin aviso previo y solo ser detectados cuando ya han causado un número significativo de víctimas, lo que sobrecarga los sistemas de salud y exige una respuesta rápida y efectiva. |
| Abstract(eng): | This research explores the growing human vulnerability to the use of biological weapons, highlighting bioterrorism as a practice of high impact, contagion and mortality. Bioterrorism is characterized by the use of biological agents with a high capacity for propagation and transmission, generating panic and responding to the ideals of terrorist groups. The problem lies in the insidious nature of these attacks, which can occur without prior warning and only be detected when they have already caused a significant number of victims, which overloads health systems and requires a rapid and effective response. |
