What concerns me most is these data from unreliable wikipedia United States of America The U.S. maintains at least eight Biosafety Level 4 facilities, and is currently planning at least seven more: Operational Facilities: * USAMRIID in Fort Detrick, MD ("old building") * CDC in Atlanta, GA (two buildings operational) * NIH's BSL-4 lab on the NIH Campus in Bethesda, MD (sometimes operates at BSL-3), never operated as a "hot" BSL4 * NIH's BSL-4 lab at the Twinbrook III building, Rockville, MD (sometimes operates at BSL-3) * Southwest Foundation for Biomedical Research in San Antonio, TX * UTMB's Shope Laboratory in Galveston, TX * Georgia State University in Atlanta, GA (smaller "glovebox" facility) * The Division of Consolidated Laboratory Services lab (part of the Department of General Services of the Commonwealth of Virginia) in Richmond, VA (so-called "surge" BSL-4 capacity) Facilities Under Construction and Planned: * USAMRIID in Fort Detrick, MD ("new building", in design) * Boston University's National Emerging Infectious Diseases Laboratory (NEIDL) in Boston, MA (under construction) * UTMB's National Biocontainment Facility in Galveston, TX (under construction) * DHS's National Biodefense Analysis and Countermeasures Center (NBACC) in Fort Detrick, MD (under construction) * DHS's National Bio and Agro-Defense Facility (NBAF), shortlisted July 2007; final site selection mid to late 2008 * NIAID's Integrated Research Facility in Fort Detrick, MD (in construction- earliest operational date 2009) * NIAID's Rocky Mountain Laboratories in Hamilton, MT (in construction - earliest operational date 2009) Russia VEKTOR State Research Center of Virology and Biotechnology, Koltsovo, Novosibirsk region. Other BSL4 facilities available during the Soviet era have been dismantled. Biosafety Level 4 is required for work with dangerous and exotic agents that pose a high individual risk of aerosol-transmitted laboratory infections, agents which cause severe to fatal disease in humans for which vaccines or other treatments are not available, such as Bolivian and Argentine hemorrhagic fevers, dengue fever, Marburg virus, Ebola virus, hantaviruses, Lassa fever, Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever, and other various hemorrhagic diseases. Каждый раз, когда по телеку показывают новости про очередную вспышку вирусной инфекции, я гадаю, началось или нет ещё? Ведь начнётся когда-нибудь, и тогда нам всем не поздоровится. |
