  Biological warfare - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Biological warfare, also known as germ warfare, is the use of any organism (bacteria, virus or other disease-causing organism) or toxin found in nature, as a weapon of war.
Diseases most likely to be considered for use as biological weapons are contenders because of their lethality (if delivered efficiently), and robustness (making aerosol delivery feasible).
Though herbicides are chemicals, they are often grouped with biological warfare as bioregulators in a similar manner as biotoxins.
