Use aerosol delivery.




It depends on what you want to accomplish, and the specific biological weapon (as not all of them can be spead using every method). Aersols are by far the best way to spread a biological weapon over a large area quickly. However, contaminating a water supply (river, well, or reservoir) is also quick, hard to detect, and will affect a large number of people. Delivery via a animal vector (typically, an insect such as a mosquito or fly) is almost impossible to detect quickly, and has the virtue of being extremely difficult to clean up.

What are microbial agents?

Antimicrobial agents are compounds that inhibit or kill microbes or microorganims, e.g bacteria and fungi. Antimicrobial agents can be chemicals or biological in compostion. Chemical based antimicrobial agents are antibiotics where are biological based are antimicrobial peptides. Antimicrobial agents inhibit or kill microbes by breaking there cell wall or inhibiting some metabolism or bind to DNA and prevent the replication, thus stopping the multiplication of the microbes in the body


What is the most limited group of antimicrobial agents?

Antiviral agents are the most limited group of antimicrobial agents compared to antibacterial and antifungal agents. This is because viruses are intracellular parasites and more challenging to target without causing harm to host cells. There are fewer antiviral agents available, and they are often more specific in their mechanisms of action.


What is the difference between biological chemical and physical contamination?

A biological agent usually has no odor, color, or other signatures, while most chemical agents have one or more signatures. A chemical incident is characterized by a rapid onset of medical symptoms, while the onset of symptoms from a biological incident could take days or weeks. A biological incident can affect a larger geographic area, while a chemical incident can involve a smaller geographic area.
