List of Schedule 5 pathogens and toxins

Schedule 5 pathogens and toxins

As NaCTSO has moved from its own site to part of the gov.uk site, the comprehensive list of Schedule 5 pathogens and toxins is no longer available and has yet to be replaced. This list has been put together from the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001, The Schedule 5 to the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 (Modification) Order 2007, The Part 7 of the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 (Extension to Animal Pathogens) Order 2007 and The Schedule 5 to the Anti-terrorism, Crime and Security Act 2001 (Modification) Order 2012.

References to micro-organisms on the list includes:

  1. intact micro-organisms
  2. micro-organisms which have been genetically modified by any means, but retain the ability to cause serious harm to human or animal health
  3. any nucleic acid deriving from a micro-organism listed in this Schedule (synthetic or naturally derived, contiguous or fragmented, in host chromosomes or in expression vectors) that can encode infectious or replication competent forms of any of the listed micro-organisms
  4. any nucleic acid sequence derived from the micro-organism which when inserted into any other living organism alters or enhances that organisms ability to cause serious harm to human or animal health.

References to toxins on the list includes:

  1. any nucleic acid sequence coding for the toxin
  2. any genetically modified organism containing any such sequence.

References to toxins on the list excludes any non-toxigenic subunit.
