A cytotoxin is a type of biological agent that acts to destroy an organism by overwhelming the organism's ability to rid itself of poison. These toxins disrupt the normal functioning of cells, leading to cell death and ultimately compromising the organism's overall health.
Type of biological agent that acts to destroy an organism by overwhelming its ability to rid itself of the poison it produces is known as a parasitoid. Parasitoids lay their eggs on or inside other organisms, and the larvae then consume the host from the inside out.
