The transport of infectious and biological material is regulated by a
number of international organizations. This mini-review has been compi
led to increase awareness within the scientific community of problems
caused by differences in terminology (such as infectious materials/sub
stances, biological products, diagnostic specimens, genetically modifi
ed microorganisms) and certain technical aspects of the main internati
onal guidelines, and to assist policy makers in the creation of harmon
ized guidelines. A list of relevant Internet resources has been compil
