Laboratory leaks have once⁢ again become a hot topic ‌with the recent Pluribus series. However, when we‌ talk about laboratory​ leaks, many of us immediately‍ think of the Covid-19 pandemic.Because during that time,the issue of the pandemic originating from a laboratory in ⁣Wuhan‌ was⁢ discussed for days.

Speaking to El Pais, Spanish virologist Xavier ⁤Abad began his discussion of laboratory leaks by giving the example of the Covid-19 virus. ⁤abad, head ‍of the biological control ⁣unit of the Animal Health Center (CReSA) in Barcelona, ​​said, “The possibility of the SARS-Cov-2 virus leaking from the laboratory is not very⁢ likely, is it? But it is quite possible.”

Abad also recalled that Spanish security forces⁤ recently conducted an audit at the research center ​on‌ suspicion of a⁣ leak of⁤ the African swine fever virus, searching for various evidence. ‌”I have read a ​lot about incidents and accidents in laboratories.‍ More than ⁢100 incidents ‍have been recorded worldwide, and these are only the visible‍ part of what ​actually happened,” he said.

All assumptions are ​still on the table in the event of a leak of African swine fever, but ⁤the focus is currently on CReSA.

CReSA is⁣ a center located on the Bellaterra campus of the Autonomous University of Barcelona, ⁤​​housing perilous pathogens. The reason ‌the laboratory was involved in the investigation is as a wild boar near the facility was infected with a strain similar to the one found there last November. This laboratory,⁣ which‍ did not​ have a double-wall application, was undergoing renovation at the time and experiments on the African swine fever virus were being conducted ‌at the facility.

IF ⁢IT DOESN’T SPREAD‌ THROUGH THE AIR, HOW DID IT LEAK?

Many experts believe that the African swine fever virus ‌does not spread through​ the air. Therefore,

Ölçümü yapmak zor çünkü sistematik⁣ bir raporlama sistemi yok” ifadesine yer verdi.

Araştırmacıların açıklanan vakalar üzerinden yaptıkları⁢ tespite göre, 1980 ile 2015 yılları⁤ arasında‌ laboratuvarda çalışan 220 kişiye aşırı tehlikeli patojenler bulaştı.

Araştırmanın yazarları arasında, CReSA’da görev alan ​virolog Nuria Busquets de vardı. Busquets’in CReSA’daki arkadaşları,‍ 2007’de İngiltere’nin Pirbright ‍kasabasında yaşanan olay⁢ gibi canlı hayvanları da etkileyen‍ sızıntılar olduğuna vurgu yaptı. Bahse konu olayda, kasabadaki BSL3 seviyesindeki laboratuvarın tesisat sistemindeki⁣ iki hasarlı borudan, şap hastalığı virüsü yayılmış, bölgede ⁣faaliyet‍ gösteren inşaat kamyonları da ‍patojenlerin çevredeki çiftliklere yayılmasına neden⁣ olmuş ve bu olaydan ⁣dolayı milyonlarca euro kayıp yaşanmıştı.

O nedenle şimdi gözler CReSa’da yaşandığı düşünülen son sızıntıya dönmüş durumda. Çünkü tesiste son aylarda yapılan⁢ genişletme ‍çalışmalarından ötürü çok ⁢sayıda kamyon enstitüye girip çıktı. cresa ise herhangi bir biyogüvenlik ihlali yaşanmadığı konusunda ısrarcı.

YÜKSEK ‌GÜVENLİKLİLERDE BİLE‍ OLUYOR

Harvard Üniversitesi’nde ​Bulaşıcı ⁢hastalık dinamikleri Merkezi Başkanı epidemiyolog Marc Lipsitch,​ İspanya’daki Afrika domuz gribi vakasını spesifik olarak yorumlamaktan ‌kaçındı ancak diğer vakalara ilişkin olarak, “Bulaşıcı mikroplar aşırı güvenlikli laboratuvarlardan kaçtı, hatta bunlar arasında BSL3’ün üzerindeki laboratuvarlar bile vardı” değerlendirmesinde⁤ bulundu.Lipsitch, bu⁢ kapsamda 2014’ten ⁢bu yana yaşanan 3 örneği⁤ sıraladı:

  • Atlanta’da 4’üncü ‌seviye⁣ laboratuvarda flakonların ⁤karıştırılması neticesinde ⁤Ebola virüsü örneklerinin yayılması kazası;
  • Utah’taki⁢ ask
