Biosafety in the Field: An Account of a Kyrgyz Antiplague Expedition
Abstract: The Soviet Union had a unique system to control plague (causative agent, Yersinia pestis) and other “especially dangerous diseases.” This system continues to exist in many of the countries of the former Soviet Union, although with more limited funding. One of the key activities of the antiplague system is to look for the causative agent of plague in its natural reservoirs in the …

Ethical Competence in Dual Use Life Science Research
Abstract: Life scientists have with increasing intensity been requested to recognize and take responsibility for the potential dual use implications of their work. To assist in meeting these demands, a number of educational modules have been produced to raise awareness of relevant dual use and biosecurity issues. A main purpose of such efforts has been to nurture an active culture of dual use…

Evaluation of a Dry Fogging System for Laboratory Decontamination
Abstract: Dry fogging is a relatively new decontamination technology that uses liquid disinfectant and compressed air as consumables. The ultrafine droplet size of the dry fog prevents it from easily falling onto surfaces, a desirable quality for space/ area decontaminations. Liquid peracetic acid (PAA) has been shown to have excellent microbicidal activity; however, it has compatibility issue…

Verification of Inactivation Methods for Removal of Biological Materials from…
Summary: The Pitt RBL Management Team has established an internal SOP for inactivation of biological agents for removal to a laboratory operating at a lower biosafety level. All investigators are required to provide a full description of any inactivation procedure, as well as detailed safetytesting data, for each pathogen. These must be reviewed and approved by the Team prior to routine use.…

Current Trends in Institutional Biosafety Committee Practices
Abstract The NIH Guidelines for Research Involving Recombinant DNA Molecules (Guidelines) require institutions that receive NIH funding for recombinant DNA (rDNA) research to establish an institutional biosafety committee (IBC) to review and approve rDNA experiments, and to ensure that rDNA research is conducted according to the Guidelines. Three national surveys of IBCs registered with the N…
