Abstract

Warfare is an activity that has been conducted between humans since ages.Humans repeatedly practiced this activity, employed multiple strategies,and used different weapons in order to vanquish the enemy. Among these innumerable weapons, biological and chemical are of substantial significance. These biological and chemical agents have been used historically as weapons of destruction by states. The concept of using bio and chemical agents is even before the concept of statehood. These infectious weapons were employed in wars so as to vanquish the enemy forces. These weapons were available for a long, but their use was only sporadically, and they were employed stealthily.
