A safety and environmental assessment of the biological stimulants Bacillus subtilis and Newcastle Disease virus : volume 1: discussion / by J. Ho, B. Kournikakis, P.A. Lockwood and V.L. DiNinno.: DR52-2/12-1993-1E-PDF
"It has been and still is necessary to test biological warfare agent detectors and carry out other research activities [...] in biological defence using microorganisms. To carry out this work, DRES has used Bacillus globigii (BG), now renamed Bacillus subtilis, for a number of years. Recently it became desirable to use a viral stimulant as well and after a detailed search, Newcastle Disease virus La Sota strain, a vaccine strain was chosen. Safety and the lack of environmental risk of these two organisms were the main criteria in their selection. This document summarises information on the safety and environmental effects of these two organisms. Based on this review the use of BG and NDV in the field presents no hazard to either personnel or the environment" -- Abstract (page iii).
