                         b .  In the case ot a biological operation carried cut not only by means
                         of aerosols produced by sLaLiorary or mobile disseminators, but also
                         using explosive munitions such as sheils or Cluster bombs, secondary
                         dissemination, starting from the sedimentation or impact location, can
                         well occur through the aCLiOrCDf wind or s-reaming water.

                         c.  Man, as an unaware and highly mobile carrier of a communicable
                         agent., could equally become a source of secondary dissemination.     In
                         the same way contaminated equipment and food, if disease is not
                         suspected, may disseminate agents during transport.     Lastly,
                         contaminated Waterways could work as a vehicle of spread, creating
                         secondary foci at Collection sites, along their courses.
