Définition

  • Biological warfare, or germ warfare, as it is often called, is the use of biological agents in the form of toxins, bacteria, rickettsia, viruses, or fungi to incapacitate or kill an individual, a specific group of people, or an entire population. Biological warfare may also be used on livestock or crops to affect the food supply and therefore indirectly affect the survival of a population.
