Difference between Biological warfare and Pneumonic plague

Biological warfare vs. Pneumonic plague

Biological warfare (BW)—also known as germ warfare—is the use of biological toxins or infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses, and fungi with the intent to kill or incapacitate humans, animals or plants as an act of war. Pneumonic plague is a severe lung infection caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis.

Similarities between Biological warfare and Pneumonic plague

Biological warfare and Pneumonic plague have 8 things in common (in Unionpedia): Antibiotic, Bacteria, Black Death, Bubonic plague, Plague (disease), Vaccine, Vector (epidemiology), Yersinia pestis.

Antibiotic

An antibiotic (from ancient Greek αντιβιοτικά, antibiotiká), also called an antibacterial, is a type of antimicrobial drug used in the treatment and prevention of bacterial infections.

Vector (epidemiology)

In epidemiology, a disease vector is any agent that carries and transmits an infectious pathogen into another living organism; most agents regarded as vectors are organisms, such as intermediate parasites or microbes, but it could be an inanimate medium of infection such as dust particles.
