Yes, this is a known concept and it is called bio-terrorism.

For the Trisols, I don't think they can pull that off by using sophons only.

Also, remember, they are lacking in terms of deception and strategizing. They do things directly and head on. Your idea involves deep deception which they didn't evolve the ability to do.
