Chinese scientists have conducted an extremely frightening and deadly experiment by creating a mutant Ebola virus in a laboratory. In this experiment, the mutant virus was transmitted to a group of hamsters, and unfortunately, these hamsters showed severe symptoms and died within two to three days. Here are the details…

Chinese scientists design a deadly virus surpassing Ebola

This experiment was originally intended to study Ebola in a safer environment. Scientists want to find animal models that can mimic the symptoms of a disease in a safe environment. However, this time, the resulting virus turned out to be highly lethal, showing severe symptoms such as a type of eye discharge and multiple organ failure.

Researchers at Hebei Medical University created this mutant virus by adding a protein and allowing the virus to spread to human body cells. The infected hamsters showed symptoms similar to those seen in Ebola patients. One of the most intriguing and perhaps frightening symptoms was the eye discharge that developed in the infected hamsters.

These discharges affected the hamsters’ vision, leading to crusting on the surface of their eyeballs. This study was conducted to find a model that could mimic Ebola symptoms in a safe laboratory environment. The scientists stated that this experiment was an important step for Ebola treatment and research. However, such experiments carry some risks for public health, such as laboratory leaks.

Laboratory leaks are often seen as the source of frightening scenarios. If a virus leaks from a laboratory environment and spreads to the public, it could create a major health crisis. Conducting such experiments safely is crucial to minimizing these risks.

We hope that Chinese scientists do not subject the world to another pandemic. What do you think about this topic? Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments section below.
