Biological weapons-this special ammunition and military devices curb biological weapons.Methods of use of biological weapons:
The aerosol method is the contamination of ground layer of air with particles of the aerosol by spraying of the biological (bacteriological) formulations.
Transmissive method-dispersion of artificially infected disease vectors-ticks, fleas, mosquitoes, etc.
Sabotage method-deliberate covert contamination by biological means of confined spaces of air, water and food in pre-selected areas.
Biological weapons are pathogenic
microorganisms or their spores, viruses,
bacterial toxins, infected animals, as well
as their means of delivery (missiles,
guided missiles, automatic balloons,
aircraft), designed for mass destruction
of enemy manpower,
farm animals,
crops, as well as damage to some types
of military materials and equipment.

Different means and methods can be used
to spread infections:
1) artillery shells and mines.
2) special containers (bags,

4) devices that disperse aerosols

To defeat people use:

For destruction of farm animals use:
causative agents of

plague of cattle
For destruction of crops use:
pathogens of
rust of grain

Bacteria-single-celled microorganisms,
visible only under a microscope;
multiply by simple division. Bacteria
cause such serious diseases as plague,
tularemia, anthrax, SAP.
