State veterinarians perceived\nthe risks associated with an anthrax hoax, brucellosis,\nand ricin toxicosis to be lower than did state\npublic health officers. Risk posed by agents that affected\nanimals exclusively was perceived to be higher than\nrisk posed by agents that affected humans exclusively\nand zoonotic agents. Number of full-time-equivalent\npositions devoted to bioterrorism surveillance and percentage\nof the budget devoted to bioterrorism activities\nwere significantly lower for offices run by state veterinarians\nthan for offices run by state public health officers.\nState veterinarians were significantly less likely to\nbe aware of actual bioterrorism incidents within their\nstate or district than were state public health officers.<\/jats:p>\n\t\t\t\t<jats:p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<jats:bold>Conclusions and Clinical Relevance<\/jats:bold>\u2014Provision of additional\nresources to state veterinarians and explicit integration\nof their expertise and surveillance capabilities\nmay be important to effectively mitigate the risk of bioterrorism.\n(<jats:italic>J Am Vet Med Assoc<\/jats:italic> 2002;220:1782\u20131787)<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.2460\/javma.2002.220.1782","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,1,23]],"date-time":"2006-01-23T18:38:06Z","timestamp":1138041486000},"page":"1782-1787","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Perceptions of state public health officers and state veterinarians regarding risks of bioterrorism in the United States"],"prefix":"10.2460","volume":"220","author":[{"given":"R.
