Bacteria and viruses can be used as bioterrorism agents due to their ability to spread rapidly, their potential to cause widespread illness and death, and the difficulty in controlling their effects once released into a population. Additionally, these microorganisms can be engineered to be more virulent or resistant to treatment, increasing their potential as bioterrorism weapons.

Viruses can be used as bioterrorism agents by intentionally infecting individuals or populations with a virulent strain to cause widespread illness and panic. This can be done through dispersal methods such as aerosol spraying in densely populated areas, contaminating water supplies, or infecting food sources. The goal is to create fear, disrupt societies, and destabilize economies through the intentional release of the virus as a weapon.

Most countries have signed agreements that biological agents will not be used in warfare so biological warfare is unlikely especially given that some of the countries who are big believers in no biowarfare are nuclear capable. Bioterrorism is more likely as people acting independently of government/state can do what they feel fit. Also the word "terrorism" gives a clue as to the objective. The threat of bioterrorism achieves the goal of terrorising even if the terrorists lack the capablility of producing a weapon which would cause serious harm. At present the world is "terrorised" by the threat of a naturally occurring strain of the flu virus the idea of bioterrorism can easily feed off these ideas and create conspiracy theories and terror.
