Bioterrorism and Biowarfare: Next Generation Bioweapons

Humans always want to dominate or defeat another person or group, but only the stronger group can genuinely succeed in doing so. Here come the potent genetically modified bacteria, which are easily weaponized and can kill or cause various biological malfunctions to the local wildlife. It may qualify as biowarfare if these germs are created and used against another nation. Although the definition of bioterrorism differs from one source to another and on sometimes, it is when it is used by an anti-national (sub-national) group. Although the Geneva Protocol and the Biological Weapons Convention were signed in 1925 and 1972, respectively, to forbid the use or development of biological weapons, neither one was able to stop the use of bioweapons. We are all aware by this point that the primary component of biological attacks, microorganisms are invisible to the human sight, making it very challenging to identify their attack. Since their attack could only be discovered after significant destruction, an incubation time of around 3 to 5 days allows us to escape enemy territory without being discovered. Due of its more affordable production and simplicity of handling, terrorists and other antinational organizations find it intriguing. Consequently, bioweapons are said to as the atomic bomb's underdog. Black biology is the study of employing genetically modified microorganisms as weapons. The biological agents should have certain properties in order to be used as a bioweapon
