result in high mortality rates and have the potential for major public health impact;
might cause public panic and social disruption; and
require special action for public health preparedness.
✔✔Category B bioterrorism agents - ✔✔are moderately easy to disseminate;

equine encephalitis, and western equine encephalitis])
Water safety threats (Vibrio cholerae, Cryptosporidium parvum)
✔✔Category C bioterrorism agents - ✔✔could be engineered for mass dissemination in
the future because of
availability;
