Science has progressed so much that every type of weapon is being made and enemies are being destroyed. Biological weapons use disease-causing organisms or poisonous substances to harm humans or animals. These weapons can be deadly and highly infected. Once spread, it is very difficult to control and it can cause heavy damage to the general public even outside the war zone. The Biological Weapons Convention (BWC) was established in 1972 to stop the spread of biological weapons.

However, these attempts were on a relatively small scale and were not very successful.
