Biological terrorism in the context of the current global situation

The diploma thesis deals with bioterrorism and current Covid-19 pandemic. The aim of the work is to analyse information and knowledge concerning bioterrorism and to analyse the level of concerns of civilians over transmission of Covid-19 in the South Bohemian Region. The work is divided into two parts. In the first theoretical part the history of biological weapons in wars and for terrorist purposes is described there. Furthermore, I am going to introduce different forms of biological weapons, for example terms such as biological warfare or biological crime. I am then going to divide b-agents, introduce bacteria, virus, fungi and their types. The general division of b-agents is followed by the description of transmission of biological agents and of the way they enter the body. Finally, we are going to focus on decontamination, combat order and model action activity of IRS units during joint intervention. The second and theoretical part defines methods and goals of the research and the results that are graphically depicted to be well arranged. The results are then described in the discussion. The main aim of the work was to analyse information and knowledge concerning bioterrorism and to analyse the level of corners of civilians from transmission of Covid-19 in the South Bohemian Region. To confirm or to disprove a given hypothesis was another part of the goal. The hypothesis reads as follows: University graduates will have statistically much higher knowledge concerning given issues than people who have not completed higher education. A questionnaire construction was used to gain the data. 212 respondents took part in the questionnaire construction. The research confirmed the hypothesis that university graduates would have statistically much higher knowledge concerning given issues than people who have not completed higher education. A measure that could deepen the knowledge in this area was offered at the end of the thesis
