Contributors in a variety of medical and biological fields present a resource for biosafety professionals and for students, staff, faculty, and clinicians who are working with or around potentially biohazardous materials in research laboratories, medical settings, and industrial environments. They cover hazard identification, hazard assessment, hazard control, administrative control, and special environments. Among the topics are indigenous zoonotic agents of research animals, emerging considerations in virus-based gene transfer systems, primary barriers and equipment-associated hazards, occupational medicine in a biomedical research setting, and the biosafety of plant research in greenhouses and other specialized containment facilities.
