Why was Bio-Terry developed as a manual in a three-ring binder?
Biological terrorism in this country is a new phenomenon. The theory and practice associated with its recognition and management will be a constantly evolving process. Therefore, by its very nature, a hardbound textbook will be out of date by the time it is finally published. Publishing Bio-Terry in a three-ring binder allows alterations to be made and mailed out without having to re-do the entire copy. All one has to do is to remove the outdated material and substitute the new page or pages. In addition, plans are now being made to add other features to the manual (e.g. other disease such as Glanders and the use of biological agents throughout history).
