It comes as little surprise that the dream of many a warlord or government has been to harness disease as a weapon with which to destroy one’s enemies. If used effectively, a weaponised virus could devastate an enemy’s population by tying up resources, disrupting economic progress and of course killing off the people who would fight in any military campaign with one’s own forces. Weaponised diseases have the theoretical potential to eradicate an enemy while leaving all their riches in place for plundering later and one disease more than any other has been the focus of the efforts to develop such bioweaponry – bubonic plague.
