A bush? 4 hours ago, franks pond said: Chinese researcher escorted from infectious disease lab amid RCMP investigation Social Sharing Facebook Twitter Email Reddit LinkedIn Public Health Agency of Canada describes it as a possible 'policy breach,' no risk to Canadian public Karen Pauls · CBC News · Posted: Jul 14, 2019 3:50 PM CT | Last Updated: July 14, 2019 Dr. Xiangguo Qiu accepting a Governor General's Innovation Award at Rideau Hall in 2018. She, her husband, Keding Cheng, and an unknown number of her students from China were removed from Canada's only level-4 lab on July 5 amidst an RCMP investigation into what's being described as a possible 'policy breach.' (CBC) A researcher with ties to China was recently escorted out of the National Microbiology Lab (NML) in Winnipeg amid an RCMP investigation into what's being described as a possible "policy breach." Dr. Xiangguo Qiu, her husband Keding Cheng and an unknown number of her students from China were removed from Canada's only level-4 lab on July 5, CBC News has learned. A Level 4 virology facility is a lab equipped to work with the most serious and deadly human and animal diseases. That makes the Arlington Street lab one of only a handful in North America capable of handling pathogens requiring the highest level of containment, such as Ebola. Security access for the couple and the Chinese students was revoked, according to sources who work at the lab and do not want to be identified because they fear consequences for speaking out. Sources say this comes several months after IT specialists for the NML entered Qiu's office after-hours and replaced her computer. Her regular trips to China also started being denied. At meetings on July 8, NML staff were told the researchers are on leave for an unknown period of time. They were told not to communicate with them. Qiu is a prominent virologist who helped develop ZMapp, a treatment for the deadly Ebola virus which killed more than 11,000 people in West Africa between 2014-2016. She worked with Gary Kobinger, who is now a professor in the Department of Microbiology and Infectious Diseases and director of the Research Centre on Infectious Diseases at Laval University in Quebec. Affiliated with Chinese university Qiu is a medical doctor from Tianjin, China, who came to Canada for graduate studies in 1996. She is still affiliated with the university there and has brought in many students over the years to help with her work. Currently head of the Vaccine Development and Antiviral Therapies section in the Special Pathogens Program at the lab, Qiu's primary field is immunology. Her research focuses on vaccine development, post-exposure therapeutics and rapid diagnostics of viruses like Ebola. She is also an adjunct professor in the Department of Medical Microbiology at the University of Manitoba. Cheng also works at the lab as a biologist. He has published research papers on HIV infections, Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS), E. coli infections and Creutzfeldt-Jakob Syndrome. Dr. Xiangguo Qiu, research scientist, second from right, and Dr. Gary Kobinger, former chief of special pathogens, right, are two of the National Microbiology Lab scientists who created the Ebola treatment, ZMapp. Also pictured, at left, Dr. Kent Brantly and Dr. Linda Mobula, assistant professor at Johns Hopkins School of Medicine and the physician who administered ZMapp to Dr. Brantly in Liberia. (Submitted by Health Canada) The RCMP received a referral from the Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) on May 24. "Based on information received to date, the RCMP has assessed that there is no threat to public safety at this time," Robert Cyrenne said in an email to CBC News on Thursday. PHAC is describing it as a policy breach and "administrative matter" and says the department is taking steps to "resolve it expeditiously," Eric Morrissette, the health agency's chief of media relations, said from Ottawa. No one is under arrest or confined to their home, he added. When asked for a response to the latest details, Morrissette said there would be no further comment "for privacy reasons." A spokesperson for Health Minister Ginette Petitpas Taylor said she is aware of an "administrative investigation" at the lab but has no comment. Xiangguo Qiu works in level-4 containment at the National Microbiology Laboratory in Winnipeg. (CBC News) "We can assure Canadians that there is absolutely no risk to the Canadian public and that the work of the NML continues in support of the health and safety of all Canadians," communications director Mathieu Filion said in an email Saturday. RCMP investigate possible policy breach at National Microbiology Lab Second Opinion How the new Ebola vaccine was made in Canada Matthew Gilmour, scientific director general of the NML, did not respond to a request for comment. A spokesperson for the Canada Border Services Agency said the department will not confirm or deny whether anyone has been arrested or is under investigation. That information would only be public if charges are laid, Judith Gadbois-St-Cyr said in an email Thursday. No one from the Chinese Embassy could be reached for comment. 'Microbiology can ... involve national security' While there are few details available, experts say this could be a case of intellectual property theft or technology leakage to China. "The National Microbiology Laboratory would have some pretty sensitive biological research material that ... could be shared either with or without authorization with foreign countries," said Gordon Houlden, director of the University of Alberta's China Institute. "All of this is unproven, but even microbiology, sometimes especially microbiology, can have issues that involve national security." It's something the Canadian Security Intelligence Service has already warned about, said Leah West, who teaches national security law at Carleton's Norman Paterson School of International Affairs. "Canada is facing threats from foreign governments seeking to steal intellectual property and that could include state-funded research," she said. "The two big things I want to see is whether or not these individuals are charged with crimes by the RCMP ...that will give us a lot of information about what is really at stake here." West is also interested in seeing how this plays out politically between Canada and the Chinese government. The National Microbiology Lab in Winnipeg is one of only a handful in North America capable of handling dangerous pathogens such as Ebola. (Trevor Brine/CBC) Relations between the two countries have been strained since the detention of Huawei executive Meng Wanzhou on a U.S. arrest warrant. "China and Canada's relationship right now stems from China using espionage to advance its strategic interests, be that its security interests or its economic interests," West said. "How Canada deals with that going forward, especially given that we have two Canadians who remain in Chinese custody, will be very interesting to watch." This isn't the first time police have investigated an incident at the lab. In 2009, a former researcher at the lab was convicted of trying to smuggle genetic material from the Ebola virus across the Manitoba-North Dakota border. The FBI is also investigating cases involving Chinese researchers in the United States.

It was a weaponized form of anthrax that was milled down and aerosolized to acquire airborne status. It killed humans and animals over 60 miles away from the release site. It’s possible that this virus escaped from the lab. That’s occurred before in China. What is a bit concerning is the massive response in China. This thing hasn’t proven to be highly contagious or lethal. So why the response? Do they have information which they’re not sharing? Like it’s an engineered virus that’s fast to mutate? I tend to think it’s origins are like the 1918 flu that originated in mid-America and came in two waves. It was quick to adapt and became very lethal to even healthy people, but only during the second wave. That virus has its origins from pigs and birds in a cross species mutation. So perhaps the Chinese are trying to get a handle on this thing before a second wave occurs. There was one aspect to the 1918 flu that was alwYs troubling to me. It originated at a military barracks with service members in Kansas. Hmmmm Edited January 25, 2020 by spin_dry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Long period before symptoms show also correct? Never knew that the 1918 flu was in waves like that. What's the thought on its origin in Kansas?

It was an H1N1 variant that was avian in its origin, but some researches believe it may have mutated first in swine. It infected 1/3 of the world’s population at a time when intercontinental travel wasn’t the same as it is today. The theory is American military personal introduced it to Europe. I don’t think that scientists have actually synthesized the entire gene sequence, because samples exhumed from the dead are so badly degraded.
