布萨特——BSAT,是“Biological Select Agents and Toxins”的英文缩写,似可译为“特定生物制剂和[生物]毒素”。特定的,就是从许多种生物制剂、生物毒素中,特别挑出来的一部分,并且具有特定的性质。在美国的白宫文件里,布萨特一方面被当作美国生物国防的“防御目标”;另一方面,在第二次生物国防总统行政令的陈述中,布萨特又是美国国家安全一命所系之基础——它是一个强大的[现代]科学的基础,那就是美国从1992年开始推行的生物技术国家战略;因此,布萨特又是一个绝对不能不干、而且无法避免必须使用的东西,至少到目前为止还是这样。在这里说的科学,主要是指生命科学;所说的基础,就是为了美国在21世纪继续保持强大所需要的、美国的生物技术战略扮演的基础性角色。
