War has largely remained confined to the inanimate realms of land, air, space, etc. It is envisioned that it would cross over to the animate realm consisting of the human neuro-psychiatric system. This process would be aided by the cutting-edge developments in Science and Technology. The future battlefield is likely to consist of man-machine interfaces and bio-crossing technologies, especially Biotechnology, are expected to play a major role in it. This paper looks at China's military pursuit of Biotechnology, especially employing the CRISPR-Cas 9 technology, and why the Biotech industry has become a strategic industry for China.

Over the past few decades, global events indicate that the threat of biological attack is not a myth, but a harsh reality. The medical community needs to educate both the public and policy-makers on bioterrorism and create a global consensus to reject its use for longer-term solutions. Dentists can provide their patients and communities with a valuable service by providing quality information on the potential for attacks, what to watch for, and how to respond appropriately if an attack occurs. This review provides a brief summary of biological terrorism with the role of medical fraternity in counteracting such an event, and a relevant note on alternative public health resource like dentistry in time of a crisis.

Bio-organisms are a serious threat to mankind today. With the increasing resistance to antibiotics and few discoveries in new antibiotics, the healthcare risks of individuals and societies have increased manifold. Coupled to this, constant mutations in microbes need a different dimension to counter such bio-organisms. Alongside healthcare problems, deliberate use of bio-organisms as agents of terror is a threat that has no counter today. This paper presents ‘Whiff Bio-Spray,’ a breakthrough solution to neutralize these bio-organisms through the use of active plant extracts.
