Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

Оver the past decade, the increase in outbreaks of infectious diseases such as COVID-19, monkeypox, etc. has forced us to reconsider the approach to assessing biological risks in ensuring biological safety. The rapid global spread of these diseases is putting enormous pressure on governments and international agencies to diagnose, treat and control outbreaks. In this regard, it is necessary to study their potential in the field of biosecurity, including the diagnosis, treatment, and research of infectious diseases and improve the rules and guidelines for biodefense. An analysis of foreign experience, including China, Pakistan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan and Kazakhstan was carried out on biological risk assessment, which requires constant monitoring and assessment of emerging threats and evolving risks. Monitoring includes conducting regular infectious disease surveillance, analyzing trends and patterns of disease transmission, and evaluating the effectiveness of prevention and control measures. Countries can adapt their approaches and strategies to address new and emerging threats by continuously monitoring and reassessing biological risks. In conclusion, the experience of foreign countries in biological risk assessment provides valuable information on best practices, strategies and technologies that can help improve global biological risk management and mitigation efforts. This review article highlights the importance of reliable surveillance systems, effective communication and cooperation, investment in research and development, constant vigilance and preparedness for biological threats.
