botulin

Tests were undertaken using four pound bombs filled with botulin.

Botulin, which he described as the most poisonous protein, must also be inhaled.

Iraq is believed to have manufactured large quantities of botulin toxin.

Because botulin is a protein, heating will destroy it.

Depending on the dose, botulin poisoning can take up to days to sicken and kill.

For this reason, biological toxins like botulin toxin rather than bacteria or viruses might seem more attractive as weapons.

"Your view, please, on the value of gastric lavage in cases of botulin poisoning?"

Coleman also made Agent Orange, botulin compound, and anthrax, it turned out, although no one knew that until the company went bankrupt in 1980.

Colonel Williams said that his research group had developed an experimental vaccine against botulin, and that the drug had been used on laboratory workers.

In addition to anthrax and botulin, Baghdad also owned up to the production of another biological warfare agent, aflatoxin.

Botulin is produced by Clostridium botulinum and it causes the deadly disease botulism.

Five other German firms supplied equipment to manufacture botulin toxin and mycotoxin for germ warfare.

Botulin invades excitatory nerve cells where they meet with muscle fibers and blocks the junction so no signals can get through.

Because of its proximity to human populations only two lethal agents, both toxins, were ever tested on the island, botulin and ricin.

Testing at Horn Island with the toxin botulin showed that the agent was not a viable aerosol biological weapon.

Some of the agents considered for use with the E48 included, B. suis, anthrax, and botulin.

In the early 1980s, five German firms supplied equipment to manufacture botulin toxin and mycotoxin to Iraq.

Nevertheless, the Pentagon plans to inoculate at least some of the servicemen and women serving in the Persian Gulf region with the botulin vaccine.

Between 1990 and 1995, the group attempted several apparently unsuccessful violent attacks using the methods of biological warfare, using botulin toxin and anthrax spores.

Botulin acts by suppressing the release of acetylcholine; where the venom from a black widow spider (alpha-latrotoxin) has the reverse effect.

This organism growth can result in the accumulation of poisonous bacterial substances in the food product such as botulin, that lead to food poisoning, sickness, or death.

A strain of bacteria called Clostridium botulinum creates a protein called botulin, and this protein is the cause of botulism.

Injections of botulin toxin type-A into the puborectalis muscle are very effective in the short term, and somewhat effective in the long term.

These bombs were detonated over confined guinea pigs, just one of the animals died from inhaled botulin and another died after licking the toxin from its fur.

Group I Clostridium botulinum strains that do not produce a botulin toxin are referred to as Clostridium sporogenes.
