In epidemiology and biomedicine , the term biological plausibility refers to the proposal of a causal association a relationship between a putative cause and an outcome that is consistent with existing biological and medical knowledge. Biological plausibility is one component of a method of reasoning that can establish a cause and effect relationship between a biological factor and a particular disease or adverse event. It is also an important part of the process of evaluating whether a proposed therapy drug, vaccine, surgical procedure, etc. has a real benefit to a patient. This concept has application to many controversial public affairs debates, such as that over the causes of Vaccine controversy adverse vaccination outcomes . Biological plausibility is an essential element of the intellectual background of epidemiology. The term originated in the seminal work of determining the causality of smoking related disease The Surgeon General s Advisory Committee on Smoking and Health 1964 .

Biological containment or biocontainment describes measures aimed at preventing genetically modified organisms GMOs and their transgenes from spreading into the environment for containment methods in closed research environments, see Biosafety level . In agriculture, biocontainment is helpful in protecting conventional and organic fields from admixture with GM crops growing on neighbouring fields. With the end of the de facto moratorium on genetically modified plants in Europe, several research programmes e.g. Co Extra , Transcontainer have begun investigating biological containment strategies for GMOs. Among the techniques under consideration are three major strategies based on cleistogamous plants, male sterile plants and transplastomic plants. Biocontainment strategies In Cleistogamy cleistogamous plants , flowers do not open, and thus release no pollen. In Male sterility male sterile plants , no pollen is produced. In transplastomic plants , the genetic modification has been integrated in the DNA of chloroplasts , and the cell nucleus contains no transgenes in some plant species, the pollen contains no chloroplasts and thus no transgenes.
