Biological agents used in warfare may prove to be more potent than conventional weapons. In the last century, the developments made in biochemistry and biotechnology have simplified the production of such weapons.

Factors such as ease of production, availability of technical know-how, and the extensive accessibility of biological agents have further led to the threat of biological weapons.
