摘要：

At least ten countries are considered to have current biological weapons programs. These programs differ in scope and size. There is no evidence to suggest proliferation in the number of states parties engaged in biological weapons development. There is legitimate concern, however, that the sophistication of programs may be growing and that terrorist groups could acquire biological weapons. Thus, the threat that biological weapons could be used as agents of terrorism or warfare must be taken seriously.
