Entomological warfare
Entomological warfare (EW) is a type of biological warfare that uses insects to attack the enemy. The concept has existed for centuries and research and development have continued into the modern era. EW has been used in battle by Japan and several other nations have developed and been accused of using an entomological warfare program.
==Description==
Entomological warfare (EW) is a specific type of biological warfare (BW)〔 that uses insects in a direct attack or as vectors to deliver a biological agent, such as plague or cholera. Essentially, EW exists in three varieties.〔 One type of EW involves infecting insects with a pathogen and then dispersing the insects over target areas.〔"(An Introduction to Biological Weapons, Their Prohibition, and the Relationship to Biosafety )", ''The Sunshine Project'', April 2002, accessed December 25, 2008.〕 The insects then act as a vector, infecting any person or animal they might bite. Another type of EW is a direct insect attack against crops; the insect may not be infected with any pathogen but instead represents a threat to agriculture.〔 The final method of entomological warfare is to use uninfected insects, such as bees, to directly attack the enemy.〔Lockwood, Jeffrey A. ''Six-legged Soldiers: Using Insects as Weapons of War'', Oxford University Press, USA, 2008, pp. 9–26, (ISBN 0195333055).〕
