biological warfare; bioscare. Biological warfare, the use of disease and famine as weapons of war, seems to have been coined by Life magazine in 1946. Germ warfare (1938) and bacteriological warfare (1924) are older similar terms, while bioscare was invented in 2001 after the World Trade Center disaster to describe the reaction of U.S. citizens to reports of terrorists using anthrax as a deadly weapon. |
