External links modified

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just modified one external link on Biocontainment. Please take a moment to review my edit. If you have any questions, or need the bot to ignore the links, or the page altogether, please visit this simple FaQ for additional information. I made the following changes:

• Added archive https://web.archive.org/web/20120413091502/http://www.phe.gov/s3/faqs/Pages/biosafety.aspx to http://www.phe.gov/s3/faqs/Pages/biosafety.aspx

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true or failed to let others know (documentation at {{Sourcecheck}}).

Kindly include and elaborate about Plant pathogens

Plant pathogens are necessarily biohazards able to contaminate the environment. They include a versatile kind of slime-moulds, fungi, bacteria, viruses, viroids. They are hazardous because

• Plant pathogens can spread and destroy food crop plants and agricultural fields. (See also: Famine )
• or can destroy or even wipe-out vegetation and biodiversity (See also : Forest_dieback)
• or can deteriorate stored food grains/cereals, vegetables, etc. that makes the food inedible or toxic and/or distasteful. That can cause financial loss as well as hunger. (See also: Food spoilage , Post-harvest_losses_(vegetables))
• Some plant pathogens and even plant beneficial microbes (some benificial endophytes that promote the plant to grow, without no appearent visible lesion) infect the live plant can make the plant toxic to human and cattle, such as some ergots.
• Some plant pathogens can cross infect human or cattle, and can be deadly. such as Aspergillus spores.
• Some plant pathogen spores can survive for prolonged period, so after a prolonged period of unfavourable condition to the micobe when the optimal environmental coditions match the plant pathogens can multiply exponentially and can cause plant disease or famine.
• Some bacteria such as some rhizobacteria are able to transfer DNA into plants, which get integrated into host plant's DNA.

So I request to elaborate on plant pathogens as bbiohazards and potential contaminants; and to elaborate their safe handling methods and regulations.
