Talk:Biosecurity

Untitled comment

From the article:

[artificial life forms]?, [predatory robots]?

I'm not sure this is encyclopedia material.

I don't see why not. There really can be artificial life forms and there really and truly are predatory robots. No fake. SG —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.48.36.78 (talk) 04:22, 15 August 2009 (UTC)

Carnivorous robots== Defining biosecurity ==

I came to this article looking for information on biosecurity as the term is commonly used in disease management; i.e., biosecurity as a series of actions that are taken to prevent the spread of disease. For example, the steps that are taken on livestock or poultry farms to keep diseases off the farm, such as sanitation, traffic control, etc. This article's discussion about avian influenza has nothing to do with biosecurity in the sense that global animal health organization like FAO use the term. The whole article seems to have more to do with biosafety than biosecurity. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Zyzzyz (talk • contribs) 19:40, 13 November 2007 (UTC)

--- As currently written, this entry is entirely about "laboratory biosecurity" and thus only encompassing a small subset of the broad definition of biosecurity, which is the policies and measures taken to protect people, animals, plants, and ecosystems from biological harm. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.222.202.205 (talk) 20:36, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

Regroup

There seems agreement that this article needs greater emphasis on aspects of transport of potentially feral, environmentally or economically threatening organisms around the globe rather than an "organisms that can be used by terrorists" approach that seems to prevail at the moment i.e. the definition of biosecurity needs broadening out.
