Offensive genetic engineering and release of modified organisms is sure to happen once the techniques become available.

It's untraceable, gradual, and the investment required to do it will be well within the reach of major nations.

And what better weapon than one which, once released, requires no upkeep or maintainence and slowly cripples key biological supports of your rival's economy?
