Abstract

Organisms or living-derived components that can cause disease or death can cause disasters of biological origin. Biological disasters, which are observed as epidemics, are more common in societies. The effects of biologically induced disasters on society can be experienced directly, or they can be observed together with or after another type of disaster. This can increase the impact of disasters exponentially. In this study, it was aimed to investigate the issues related to biological disasters in the literature in the last decade. In the method; Biological disasters experienced in the decade have been examined and the topics have been evaluated using the literature data in Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed databases. The bibliometric data tools were used to access the relevant sources. Due to the fact that there are many sources of biohazards; time-based, hazard source-based assessment may make a useful contribution to the management of biological risks
