Nowadays, microbes are misused as biological weapons. For instance,
a single gram of the most virulent strains of weaponized smallpox or
anthrax could contain 250 million infectious doses. Under ideal dispersal
conditions, about half the people of the entire world when exposed to
these germs could become ill and one-third might die.
Biological warfare
Thus biological warfare introduces issues of pathogenicity, toxicity,
routes of exposure, safety measures and the movement, distribution and
persistence of dangerous biological materials in our environment. In
biological warfare strategies, the genetically engineered microorganisms
are made to spread into the enemy’s territorial environment, with
unpredictable and perhaps catastrophic consequences. The released
dangerous microorganisms ‘upset the balance of nature’.
