New biological warfare data have been reported by scientists at North Carolina State University

Research findings, 'Development of quantitative real-time PCR assays for detection and quantification of surrogate biological warfare agents in building debris and leachate,' are discussed in a new report. According to recent research from the United States, "Evaluation of the fate and transport of biological warfare (BW) agents in landfills requires the development of specific and sensitive detection assays. The objective of the current study was to develop and validate SYBR green quantitative real-time PCR (Q-PCR) assays for the specific detection and quantification of surrogate BW agents in synthetic building debris (SBD) and leachate."

"Bacillus atrophaeus...
