Biosecurity refers to a set of measures and protocols designed to prevent, control, and mitigate the risks associated with the introduction, spread, and transmission of infectious diseases, pathogens, pests, and contaminants within biological systems, including humans, animals, and plants. Biosecurity aims to safeguard the health, safety, and well-being of individuals, populations, and ecosystems by implementing preventive measures such as quarantine, sanitation, hygiene practices, vaccination, surveillance, and control strategies. These measures help to minimize the likelihood of disease outbreaks, contamination events, and biohazards, as well as protect against the potential economic, social, and environmental impacts of biological threats. Biosecurity is essential in various sectors, including agriculture, healthcare, veterinary medicine, aquaculture, biotechnology, and public health, to mitigate the risks posed by infectious agents and ensure the resilience and sustainability of biological systems.
