Guest guest Posted September 23, 2004 Report Share Posted September 23, 2004 KD Weber <wvadreamin US DEVELOPS LETHAL NEW VIRUSES A scientist funded by the US government has deliberately created an extremely deadly form of mousepox, a relative of the smallpox virus, through genetic engineering. The new virus kills all mice even if they have been given antiviral drugs as well as a vaccine that would normally protect them. The work has not stopped there. The cowpox virus, which infects a range of animals including humans, has been genetically altered in a similar way. The experiments are being done at the second-highest level of biological containment, Mark Buller of the University of St Louis told New Scientist. He says his work is necessary to explore what bioterrorists might do, he told a biosecurity conference in Geneva last week. Despite the concerns, work on lethal new pox viruses seems likely to continue in the US. When members of the audience questioned the need for such experiments, an American voice in the back boomed out: " Nine-eleven " . There were murmurs of agreement.
