Bioterrorism is terrorism involving the intentional release or dissemination of biological agents.[1] These agents include bacteria, viruses, insects, fungi, and/or their toxins, and may be in a naturally occurring or a human-modified form, in much the same way as in biological warfare.[2][1] Further, modern agribusiness is vulnerable to anti-agricultural attacks by terrorists, and such attacks can seriously damage economy as well as consumer confidence.[3] The latter destructive activity is called agrobioterrorism and is a subtype of agro-terrorism.[4]
