Arboterrorism: Doubtful Delusion or Deadly Danger

Mackenzie L Kwak

Arboterrorism, the weaponisation and use of arthropod vectors carrying pathogenic microbes, is a worrying possibility in an age of rapidly accelerating biology. Historically, arboterrorism has attracted minimal research and the probability of such attacks occurring has been unclear. For the first time the logistics of such attacks are discussed along with potential vectors and pathogens. A novel biodefence strategy against arboterrorism is also proposed.
