👉 A virus weapon is a biological agent specifically engineered or naturally occurring to cause harm, often through infection and disruption of normal cellular functions. These pathogens can be modified to enhance their virulence, transmissibility, or ability to evade the immune system. In the context of bioterrorism, virus weapons are designed to be highly contagious and lethal, potentially leading to widespread panic and significant casualties. They can spread through various means, including aerosols, contaminated food or water, or direct contact, making them a potent threat in scenarios where bioterrorism is considered.
