"b. mallei" was intentionally used to infect animals and humans during world war i. the germans used "b. mallei" to infect animals that were being sent from neutral countries to the allies with glanders. the germans' plans for biological warfare started in 1915 on the east coast of the united states; they intended to infect and kill the livestock that were being sent to the allies and facilitate the transfer of the disease to humans. the east coast was where many animals were being assembled for shipment to the allies fighting in europe. the germans also targeted romania, norway, and spain's animal supplies with cultures of glanders. the german biological sabotage eventually spread to argentina, where agents would rely on bacterial cultures from spain to infect the cattle, horses, and mules that argentina was supplying to the allies. the german use of microbes as weapons is one of the only documented attacks of intentionally using biological weapons against neutral countries.
