Agrodefense Information Resource According to Dr. Michael Margolian in the paper Agricultural
Bio-terrorism: View from the United States: Since the 1960s, the Department
of Defense (DoD) has worked with USDA to protect America's plants and animals
against disease. In 1971, 4,000 DoD personnel provided assistance to USDA
during a Texas outbreak of Venezuelan Equine Encephalitis. Some 140 soldiers
were enlisted in support of the campaign against the 1983 Pennsylvanian
outbreak of Avian Influenza. In June 1997, DoD lent equipment to USDA for
combating the Medfly in Florida. In 1998, DoD assisted the South Dakota
National Guard in developing contingency plans to deal with a potential
biological attack against the state's swine population. In 1999, DoD's
US Army Medical Institute of Infectious Diseases supported the Centers for
Disease Control's efforts to isolate the cause of New York's West Nile Fever
outbreak. .... .... .... .... ..... ..... |
