Purified Toxins as Biowarfare Agents
Another approach to biological warfare is to use purified toxins rather than a living infectious agent.
PURIFIED
TOXINS AS BIOWARFARE AGENTS
Another approach to biological warfare
is to use purified toxins rather than a living infectious agent. A variety of

mitive eukaryotes such as algae or fungi, higher plants, and animals all make
toxins ( Table 23.2 ).
