Factsheets on Chemical and Biological Warfare Agents

Welcome to the CBWInfo collection of factsheets on biological and chemical warfare agents.

This site presents factsheets prepared by CBWInfo for use as an aid in training and orientation of medical and emergency personnel. They can be used for review or as a basis for more intensive instruction. They are also for the interested layman concerned about the nature of the chemical and biological threat.

Each page is organized with important diagnostic, therapeutic, and prophylactic information at the top with secondary information, such as background information and history following the key points. Pages can be accessed from disease or agent names, or from diagnostic information. Wherever possible, internationally accepted nomenclatures and designations have been applied to agents.
