WHO INSERTED THE MUTATED HUMAN INFLUENZA VIRUS IN A PIG IN SOUTH KOREA?

 

And How To Prepare For The Upcoming Influenza Pandemic

Who inserted a mutated version of the human influenza virus in a pig

in South Korea? That's what a leading biologist wants to know. Health

authorities claim that animal viruses from pigs and poultry are

jumping to humans and infecting them, causing people some to die. But

it appears somebody is helping the process along.

 

Nature Magazine, in its February 24 issue, reported that biologist

Henry Niman, who works for a biotechnology company, was examining flu

viruses gene sequences that were placed in GenBank, the public

database for genetic sequence information. Niman found a strain of

human flu virus that was created in 1940 in a London lab by scientists

who were experimenting with the virus that caused the global flu

pandemic of 1918. The flu sequence, obtained from a pig virus, had

been placed in GenBank by researchers at Chungnam National University

in Daejon, South Korea. Neither the World Health Organization (WHO) or

the South Korean government have commented on Niman's claim. Niman

says " the incident raises worrying questions about how the human flu

genes got into a virus in a pig. " While laboratory accidents may be

responsible, Niman wonders if this is evidence of " bioterrorism " at

work? [Nature Feb. 24, 2005]
