New resource: 50-Year Analysis of Food and Water Supply Threats is now available on ResearchGate
The landmark study, "Food and Water Supply Threats: An Epidemiological Analysis of Terrorist Attacks From 1970 to 2020," initially published in ASPISMEDICAL, co-authored by Luc Mortelmans, Harald De Cauwer, Dennis Barten, Friedrik Granholm and Francis Somville, is now accessible to the global research community via ResearchGate.
This comes as part of the authors` commitment to advancing the field of Counter-Terrorism Medicine (CTM) and ensuring critical data reaches those on the front lines of public health and security. This expansion provides easier access for practitioners, academics, and policy-makers worldwide.
Why this research matters
The vulnerability of food and water infrastructure remains a significant concern for national security. This comprehensive study analyses five decades of longitudinal data to identify historical trends, epidemiological impact and the patterns around targeting.
By making this analysis available on ResearchGate, the authors aim to foster greater cross-border collaboration. In the context of CTM, understanding the "how" and "why" of past attacks is essential for developing robust mitigation strategies, enhancing early detection systems, and refining clinical response protocols for large-scale contamination events.
How to access
Members and visitors can now view the full abstract, cite the findings, and engage directly with the authors through the ResearchGate portal.
