{"product_id":"control-of-dual-threat-agents-erhard-geissler-9780198291725","title":"Control of Dual-Threat Agents: The Vaccines for Peace Programme","description":"Dual-threat agents (DTAs) are those viruses, bacteria, fungi, and toxins which are not only natural enemies of living organisms but which can be deliberately used for hostile purposes as biological or toxin weapon agents. The development, production, and use of vaccines are the primary measures needed to prevent DTA-related diseases and intoxinations. However, the development and production of vaccines against DTAs are more or less restricted to military programs, and this frequently raises suspicions about possible offensive intentions. To counter such reservations, a proposal has been made to establish a Vaccines for Peace (VFP) program, an international program for the development and use of vaccines against DTAs, to be administered by the World Health Organization in close cooperation with the Program for Vaccine Development. This book provides a thorough and wide-ranging analysis of the VFP program. It contains contributions from a range of experts from fields as diverse as biotechnology, international law, and diplomacy.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Erhard Geissler\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0198291728\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780198291725\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Stockholm International Peace Research Instit\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 08\/18\/1994\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 292\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.57lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.69h x 8.27w x 0.62d","brand":"Erhard Geissler","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056646287615,"sku":"9780198291725","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4e2c2ff3-402b-4ae1-978b-96bd88df5a3f.jpg?v=1685042476","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/control-of-dual-threat-agents-erhard-geissler-9780198291725","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
