Agents of bacterial diseases (plague, tularemia, brucellosis, anthrax, cholera); agents of viral diseases (smallpox, yellow fever, Venezuelan encephalomyelitis of horses)

135. What kinds of the bacterial (biological) agents can be used for the destruction of plants?

Cereal rust pathogens, potato late blight, maize late wilting and other crops; pests of agricultural plants; phytotoxicants, defoliants, herbicides and other chemicals

136. Which of the listed diseases are caused by pathogenic bacteria?

137. Which measure is to apply with establishing the fact of the use of bacteriological weapons of particularly dangerous pathogens (plague, cholera, etc.)?

Quarantine
138. When is sanitization of persons carried out in areas of quarantine and observation?

Sanitization of persons involved in the implementation of these activities is carried out after disinfection, disinsection and deratisation are being completed.
139. When was the Vozrozhdeniye military site officially closed?

January 1992

140. When was an amendment to a bilateral agreement signed by the USA and Kazakhstan to expand cooperation against the threat of bioterrorism through the Nunn-Lugar Cooperative Threat Reduction Program?

December 2004

141. What is the main damaging factor of nuclear explosion?

Shock wave of a nuclear explosion;

Light radiation of a nuclear explosion;

Electromagnetic pulse;

The damaging effect of ionizing radiation;

The damaging effect of radiation factors on the radioactively contaminated land.

142. What is the main harmful effect of light radiation of a nuclear explosion?

The main harmful effect of LRNE is thermal damage that occurs at a temperature rise of the irradiated surface to a certain level. Thermal damage causes burns to skin and eyes. In some cases, the lethality of LRNE is associated with the occurrence of photochemical processes (temporarily blinding people).
143. What are components of ionizing radiation of a nuclear explosion?

Prompt gamma rays accompanying the nuclear reaction (almost completely absorbed by elements of the munitions); 2) the secondary gamma radiation produced by inelastic scattering and capture of neutrons, the radiation effects on ground targets almost instantaneously;

Delayed gamma-radiation accompanying the radioactive decay of fission fragments, the duration of radiation determined by the speed of the fireball and radioactive cloud, as well as the decline of radioactive fission products.

144. What are the features of acute radiation sickness in the predominantly neutron irradiation?

Rough and earlier primary response to irradiation than the corresponding severity of acute radiation sickness caused by uniform gamma-irradiation;

Early loss of the ability of the injured to active actions at high doses;

A shorter latent period, during which already at 2-5 days may develop diarrhea, often with an admixture of blood, and vomiting;

Earlier appearance of clinical signs of the outbreak of the disease, usually with a pronounced intestinal syndrome;

An earlier restoration of hematopoiesis, which explains the persistence of the intact parts of the bone marrow;
