Weeks of investigation by federal and state agencies have failed to uncover how a potential bioterror agent escaped from a Louisiana laboratory four months ago, or how far it has spread.

Since November, four rhesus macaque monkeys and a USDA investigator have been infected. Cultures of Burkholderia pseudomallei somehow got out of the secure facility at Tulane National Primate Research Center in Covington, about 50 miles north of New Orleans, reported USA Today. Officials insist there is no danger to the public.

This could be very bad news as this bio agent kills up to 50% of whatever it infects.  This is straight out of ‘The Stand’.  Keep an eye on this.  No matter how bad it gets they will deny it til’ the very end!   Stay tuned…  better safe than sorry I always say.

  • Burkholderia pseudomallei is a bacterium, not a virus (still bad though).
