A biological agent typically refers to microorganisms or toxins that can cause illness or disease in humans, animals, or plants. Examples include bacteria, viruses, fungi, and toxins like those produced by certain plants or animals. Therefore, a chemical substance like pesticides or an environmental pollutant would NOT be considered a biological agent.

depends on the biological agent used
A bioagent is a biological agent - a bacterium which can be used as a weapon in biological warfare.
In chemical control some kind of chemical is the killing agent, while in biological control the killing agent is a live organism. It may be a predetor or a bacteria or a paracite or fungi. While the definition is simple there is a multitude of implications. A chemical may be long lasting or degradable, but it never thinks nor can it reproduce. Both can have side effects which at times cause more damage then the original pest/disease they were meant to treat does.

The chain of infection begins when a biological agent thrives within a reservoir. The agent leaves the reservoir through the portal of exit.
From what I understand, agent function is a program that maps the percepts to action and update the internal state. an agent program actually implements the agent function
