"Biological
warfare,
also known as germ
warfare,
is the use of biological
toxins or infectious
agents such
as bacteria (bacteriological
warfare), viruses, insects,
and fungi with
the intent to kill, harm or incapacitate humans,
animals or plants as an act of war.Biological
weapons (often
termed "bio-weapons", "biological threat agents", or
"bio-agents") are living organisms or
replicating entities (i.e. viruses,
which are not universally considered "alive"). Entomological
(insect) warfare is
a subtype of biological warfare." Source
