The work of COST Action 355 provides information on transportation and data collection in different European countries, and gives recommendations to change towards a more sustainable transport system. The idea is to learn from one’s neighbours experiences and to work together on important challenges: to ensure economic prosperity, mobility and quality of life for current generations as well as for our children and grandchildren.

In one handy book, this reference gathers all the necessary information on 14 of the most commonly used dangerous groups of pathogens in biosafety level 3 and 4 laboratories. All the chapters are uniformly structured, with a brief overview of the microbiology, pathology, epidemiology and detection methods for each group. In addition, a whole chapter is devoted to the special biosafety requirements, disinfection, decontamination protocols, accident literature and accident procedures, as well as treatment options for all the organisms. Shaded edging allows instant retrieval of this important part.
