Scientists from the World Health Organization (WHO) investigated whether the new influenza A/H1N1 virus has been produced "by mistake" by researchers in a laboratory. This suspicion, aired by the Australian biologist Adrian Gibbs, arrived yesterday to the leadership of WHO, which, far away from the limited, announced the immediate analysis of that possibility.
"We asked our experts to determine whether there are grounds for such suspicions - said Gregory Hartl, WHO spokesman for the -. It is too early to say something sensible about it".
Gibbs, who participated in the formulation of the antiviral oseltamivir, said the genetic characteristics of the A/H1N1 induce a suspicion that may have been grown in eggs, the usual method of producing influenza vaccines. Suspicions were similar in the past to the emergence of high incidence of virus. The identification of HIV, the AIDS virus, was followed by various conspiracy theories that dissipated over time.
Sylvie Briand, representing the control program at WHO influenza virus, A/H1N1 reported that no genetic similarities with the 1918 pandemic - H1N1 group also - but, he insisted, is a new microorganism that although time is expressed in a soft, could become more aggressive.
