现代生物技术对生物武器的影响

The Impact of Modern Biotechnology on Biological Weapons

摘要: 生物技术的快速发展为人类疾病的预防、诊断、治疗提供有效的手段，及在食品、环境等领域为人类带来巨大的利益。军事方面，对生物武器的侦、防、消、救技术也随着生物技术的发展已取得了进步，成为军队建设的一个重要组成部分。如将生物技术用于研制生物战剂，使新型生物武器具有更强的隐蔽性、攻击性、更加难于防范，可能会对人类的安全形成极大威胁。现代生物技术中基因工程技术和生物化学技术对生物武器的影响较大，也使生物武器进入新的阶段，呈现出新的特点。

Abstract: The rapid development of biotechnology provides effective means for the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of human diseases, and brings huge benefits to human beings in food, environment and other fields. In the military, the detection, defense, decontamination and rescue technologies of biological weapons have also made progress with the development of biotechnology and become an important part of the military construction. If biotechnology is used in the development of biological warfare agents, new biological weapons will be more concealed, aggressive and difficult to guard against, which will pose a great threat to the safety of human beings. In modern biotechnology, genetic engineering technology and biochemical technology have great influence on biological weapons, which also make biological weapons enter a new stage and present new characteristics.
