Nuclear weapons have been considered the mightiest, and scariest of the three WMD types. Whole doctrines on their use exist, countries have ben put under sanctions or gotten attacked because of a potential acquisition of nuclear weapon assets. It is strange though, that bioweapons aren't even more of a red-alert/scare. They need less resources to produce than a massive nuclear/CW arsenal does, and their effect once deployed, is widest geographically, since a contagion spreads itself.

What would it take for biological weapons to be the crown of any country's military arsenal, in particular that of the superpowers?
