Pathogen Portal

Pathogen Portal, The Bioinformatics Resource Centers Portal.

From the website:

Pathogen Portal is a repository linking to the Bioinformatics Resource Centers (BRCs) sponsored by the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and maintained by The Virginia Bioinformatics Institute. The BRCs are providing web-based resources to scientific community conducting basic and applied research on organisms considered potential agents of biowarfare or bioterrorism or causing emerging or re-emerging diseases.

Motherlode of resources and datasets on “…potential agents of biowarfare or bioterrorism….”

I read an article years ago in Popular Science about smearing punji stakes with water buffalo excrement. A primitive, but effective, form of biowarfare.

I suppose that would fall in the realm of applied research for purposes of a topic map.
