In agent risk group classifications, what group is defined by a microorganism that is unlikely to cause human disease or animal disease? —–
WHO Risk Group 1
In WHO Risk Group 1, what are the individual and community risks? —–
no/low individual risk and community risk
In agent risk group classifications, a pathogen that can cause human or animal disease but is unlikely to be a serious hazard to laboratory workers, the community, livestock or the environment. —–
