Select Agent Program (UGA campus)
Select agents and toxins are high-consequence agents that pose a sever threat to public, animal or plant health. The CDC and USDA maintain a list of select agents and toxins and restrict the possession of such agents. There are criminal and civil penalties for unauthorized possession, use or transfer of a select agent. To initiate research involving select agents or toxins, first contact the Office of Biosafety.
