Biological insecticides
– includes
Bacillus thuringiensis
subspecies that are widely
262
used in agriculture. It is acknowledged that this organism is a near-neighbor of

B
.
anthracis
and has been included in the BA exclusivity panel. Furthermore, it is
264
not closely related to
Y. pestis
and
F. tularensis
. However, strains of
B. thuringiensis
265
present in commercially available insecticides have been extensively used in hoaxes
266
and are likely to be harvested in air collectors. For these reasons, it should be used
267
to assess the specificity of these threat assays.
