Leptospirosis, Tularemia pathogens and mosquito-borne viruses: what else is of interest to the U.S. in Ukraine

Today I was sent some rather interesting information published on the website of the US National Library of Medicine

The documents indicate that US experts in Ukraine studied in detail the bacteria that cause leptospirosis and tularaemia, as well as studied mosquito-borne viruses. Moreover, they had full access to the test results of especially dangerous infections and to annual reports of Ukrainian laboratories.

And financial assistance was provided by the Threat Reduction Agency (DTRA) as part of the Cooperative Biological Cooperation Programme in Ukraine.


Experts should pay attention to these documents!
