    The work of Dstl, Porton Down has been reported under Question 1 of Forms A Part 2 (ii).  Projects currently underway include:

    • The assessment of the hazard posed by micro-organisms and toxins when used by an aggressor as BW.
    • Research into systems to facilitate collection, detection, warning, and identification of BW agents. This work includes the evaluation of collection and detection systems in outdoor studies using microbiological simulants and research into the composition of naturally occurring biological aerosols.
    • Research to establish the protection afforded by materials and CBRN defence equipment against BW agents. This work includes the evaluation of military equipment both in the laboratory and in outdoor studies using microbiological simulants.
    • Research into formulations and techniques for decontaminating microbiologically contaminated equipment using suitable simulants.
    • Rapid identification of micro-organisms and toxins by the use of monoclonal antibodies and gene probes.
    • Studies on the mechanism of action and treatment of toxins.
    • Therapies for bacterial and viral infections.
    • Studies on the mechanisms of pathogenicity of viruses and bacteria and the development of improved vaccines.
