In August 2001, Imperial College of London University was prosecuted and ordered to pay £65 000 in fines and legal fees for exposing the public to a deadly new hybrid of the dengue fever virus and gene sequences associated with hepatitis C.

GENETIC ENGINEERING:
Imperial College Fined Over Hybrid Virus Risk
John Pickrell
HERTFORDSHIRE, U.K.--One of the United Kingdom's top research institutes has been ordered to pay almost $65,000 in fines and legal fees for risking the release of a potentially deadly hybrid virus. Government inspectors had charged Imperial College, London, with failure to follow health and safety rules in a study that involved the creation of a chimera of the hepatitis C and dengue fever viruses, both of which cause severe illness. On 23 July, a crown court judge upheld the charges and found the college guilty of failing to adequately protect laboratory workers and the public.

College fined for risky virus work

Imperial College, one of Britain's leading research institutions, was fined £25,000 yesterday for exposing staff to possible infection from a hybrid virus for which there is no known cure.

It was also ordered to pay more than £21,000 in prosecution costs at Blackfriars crown court, south London, after being accused of a "seriously flawed" approach to health and safety matters.

The court heard that there was a possibility that the hybrid hepatitis C and dengue fever virus could have been released into the air. Ventilation procedures were inadequate, no protection equipment was available in the event of a spillage, and there was no proper system for waste disposal.

Keith Morton, prosecuting, said: "The prosecution say that while this was important work, that can be no excuse for the failures revealed. Hepatitis C causes severe infection and is frequently fatal, but is difficult to catch, whereas dengue fever can cause severe but rarely dangerous infection, but is severely infectious.

"However, a hybrid virus was unpredictable. Its tropism, the tissue in which it would reproduce, was unpredictable, and there was no vaccine or treatment."

The prosecution said the college showed disregard for safety measures. Employees were exposed to "a very real risk of infection, aggravated by the fact that safety advice _ was ignored".

The breaches occurred amid growing concern in the college about general standards of safety at its St Mary's hospital campus in Kensington, west London, where the work was done. The research was intended to speed up the search for a hepatitis C vaccine.

Imperial College admitted one count of "failing to apply principles of good microbiological practices and of good occupational safety and hygiene" under regulations controlling the use of genetically modified organisms. It also pleaded guilty to breaching health and safety law.

Why is this important. Because Dengue Fever is spread by Mosquitos, so they could also spread other diseases (like Hep-C HCV) along with the Dengue Fever:

Climate change could boost U.S. dengue fever cases
Thu Jul 9, 2009
By Deborah Zabarenko, Environment Correspondent

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Climate change could push dengue fever into all corners of the United States, as the mosquitoes that can carry the traditionally tropical virus survive warmer U.S. winters, researchers said on Wednesday.

Known colloquially as breakbone fever for the aching bones that are one symptom of the disease, dengue fever can be treated effectively with bed rest and liquids, but it often goes undiagnosed in the United States.

Two species of mosquitoes capable of transmitting dengue fever have been spotted in 28 states and Washington D.C., according to a report by the Natural Resources Defense Council. Cases of the disease have been reported in every U.S. state, but many of those are so-called imported cases where the patient was infected by mosquitoes elsewhere in the world.

Dengue fever, a long-standing problem in tropical areas, was until recently rare in most of the United States, except along the Texas-Mexico border. That could be changing due to a range of factors including global warming, scientists at the Natural Resources Defense Council said in a report.

As few as 10 percent of U.S. dengue infections are correctly diagnosed, Kim Knowlton, one of the report's authors, said by telephone.

"Because there has been, up to this point, the perception that it's a tropical concern, we think it's not been on the radar of many clinicians," she said.

"Rising temperatures do affect the range of these two mosquito vectors, to the extent that warming winter temperatures can allow mosquitoes to overwinter more successfully and therefore be able to survive in new parts of the country," Knowlton said.

Nearly 4,000 cases of imported and locally transmitted dengue fever were reported in the United States by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention between 1995 and 2005; if cases along the Texas-Mexico border area are included, that number rises to 10,000.

As temperatures rise, the potential for transmission may increase in vulnerable parts of the United States, as warmer temperatures and changing rainfall conditions expand both the area suitable for the mosquito vectors and the length of the transmission season," the report said.

About 173.5 million U.S. residents live in counties with one or both of the mosquito species that can transmit dengue fever, according to the report.

Worldwide, dengue fever and its complications cause 50 to 100 million infections and 22,000 deaths annually in more than 100 countries.

By 2085, an estimated 5.2 billion people are projected to be at risk for dengue due to rising temperatures and humidity spurred by climate change, the report said.

So Tahoe... we know that 'global warming' is a hoax. And "global climate change' is the substitute to compensate for the less than warming trends, and therefore silly since climate changes will happen.

Therefore we can assume dengue fever is as much a threat as it has ever been; nothing has changed.

Exactly, Cigar for you. This is more about priming the public for more "emerging viruses". People will begin to believe that since there are more "emerging viruses" then "climate change" must also be true and vice versus. They will expect there to be MORE epedemics and vaccinations for these new diseases are just a matter of living in the modern world.

As shown in
BioWeapon Hepatitis-C 5x times more deadly then Hep-B - no vaccine   Hep-C - HCV  is mostly asypmtomatic, and Denge is misdiagnosed 90 percent of the time.

A hybridized Denge-HCV virus transmitted by mosquito could infect tens of thousands without anyone knowing what they got for quite a while.

Mosquito facility takes dengue fight to new stage - Guess who funds it?

http://www.uq.edu.au/news/?article=18458

June 3, 2009

An international team of collaborators, aiming to eliminate dengue fever worldwide, has taken a major step forward with the opening of a state of the art Mosquito Research Facility (MRF) in Cairns.

Professor Scott O'Neill, Head of The University of Queensland's School of Biological Sciences, is leading the project.

The Foundation for the National Institutes of Health, through the Grand Challenges in Global Health initiative of the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, together with James Cook University (JCU) has invested $2 million in the new facility.

Experiments will be conducted over the next 18 months to test the use of Wolbachia bacteria to control the spread of dengue. Wolbachia shortens the lives of mosquitoes, which must live at least 12 days in order to pass Dengue on to humans.

Malaria Disaster Looms From Bug's Resistance, China Fakes

May 20 (Bloomberg) -- Saron Samnith, 14, slouches in the doorway of his family’s thatched hut off a dusty track near Pailin, a city in western Cambodia. He has chills, diarrhea and a three-day-old headache -- signs of malaria.

The bout of the mosquito-borne disease, for which he tested positive, is his second in a month. The first left him comatose and in danger of dying, before medicines curbed the attack. Coursing through Saron’s veins may be the strain so dangerous that health officials --and the billionaire Bill Gates -- are racing to stop it from spreading before it kills millions.

In Pailin, a flood of counterfeit pills from China and elsewhere is helping to breed a superbug that resists even the most-effective medicine. The development threatens to unleash a global malaria “disaster” and undo decades of work to reduce illness, destitution and death, said Arjen Dondorp, a Thailand- based researcher.

“It’s a time bomb,” said Dondorp, the deputy director of the Wellcome Trust-Mahidol University Oxford Tropical Medicine Research Programme, with headquarters in Bangkok.

The World Health Organization plans to defuse the bomb with a screening and treatment program to contain and eliminate the resistant strain. The effort, in and near Pailin, may begin next month. The program is backed by $23 million from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, based in Seattle.

Bill Gates Unleashes Swarm of Mosquitoes on Crowd

http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,488348,00.html

Microsoft founder turned philanthropist Bill Gates released a glass full of mosquitoes at an elite technology conference to make a point about the deadly disease malaria.

"Malaria is spread by mosquitoes," Gates said while opening a jar onstage at the Technology, Entertainment, Design Conference — a gathering known to attract technology kings, politicians, and Hollywood stars.

"I brought some. Here I'll let them roam around. There is no reason only poor people should be infected."

First reported on social networking site Twitter, Facebook's Senior Platform Manager Dave Morin blogged, "Bill Gates just released mosquitos into the audience at TED."

Gates then waited a minute or so before assuring the audience the freed insects were malaria-free.

The unusual presentation on malaria prevention was confirmed by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation's media office. A spokesman said the insects released were not carrying malaria.

WASHINGTON (AFP) — The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation awarded 100,000 dollars each on Wednesday to scientists in 22 countries including funding for a Japanese proposal to turn mosquitos into "flying syringes" delivering vaccines.

The charitable foundation created by the founder of software giant Microsoft said in a statement that the grants were designed to "explore bold and largely unproven ways to improve global health."

The grants were awarded for research into preventing or curing infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS and tuberculosis and limiting the emergence of drug resistance.

They are the first round of funding for the Gates Foundation's "Grand Challenges Explorations," a five-year 100-million-dollar initiative to "promote innovative ideas in global health."

The funding was directed to projects that "fall outside current scientific paradigms and could lead to significant advances if successful," the Gates Foundation statement said.

"We were hoping this program would level the playing field so anyone with a transformational idea could more quickly assess its potential for the benefit of global health," said Tachi Yamada, president of global health at the Gates Foundation.

For Immediate Release: July 13, 2010
Report Suggests Nearly 5 Percent Exposed to Dengue Virus in Key West

An estimated 5 percent of the Key West, Fla., population—over 1,000 people—showed evidence of recent exposure to dengue virus in 2009, according to a report from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Florida Department of Health.

After three initial locally acquired cases of dengue were reported in 2009, scientists from the CDC and the Florida Department of Health conducted a study to estimate the potential exposure of the Key West population to dengue virus.

Dengue is the most common virus transmitted by mosquitoes in the world. It causes an estimated 50 million-100 million infections and 25,000 deaths each year. From 1946 to 1980, no cases of dengue acquired in the continental United States were reported, and there has not been an outbreak in Florida since 1934.

"We're concerned that if dengue gains a foothold in Key West, it will travel to other southern cities where the mosquito that transmits dengue is present, like Miami," said Harold Margolis, chief of the dengue branch at CDC. "The mosquito that transmits dengue likes to bite in and around houses, during the day and at night when the lights are on. To protect you and your family, CDC recommends using repellent on your skin while indoors or out. And when possible, wear long sleeves and pants for additional protection."

Since 1980, a few locally acquired U.S. cases have been confirmed along the Texas-Mexico border, which coincided with large outbreaks in neighboring Mexican cities.

In recent years, there has been an increase in epidemic dengue in the tropics and subtropics, including Puerto Rico.

"These cases represent the reemergence of dengue fever in Florida and elsewhere in the United States after 75 years," Margolis said. "These people had not travelled outside of Florida, so we need to determine if these cases are an isolated occurrence or if dengue has once again become endemic in the continental United States."

Mutant mosquitoes: Malaysia release of genetically modified insects sparks fears of uncontrollable new species
By Daily Mail Reporter Last updated at 3:50 PM on 26th January 2011

Malaysia has released 6,000 genetically modified mosquitoes into a forest in the first experiment of its kind in Asia aimed at curbing dengue fever.

The field test is meant to pave the way for the official use of genetically engineered Aedes aegypti male mosquitoes to mate with females and produce offspring with shorter lives, thus curtailing the population.

Only female Aedes aegypti mosquitoes spread dengue fever, which killed 134 people in Malaysia last year.
...
A similar trial in the Cayman Islands last year - the first time genetically modified mosquitoes have been set loose in the wild after years of laboratory experiments and hypothetical calculations - resulted in a dramatic drop in the mosquito population in a small area studied by researchers
..
The Malaysian government-run Institute for Medical Research said it released about 6,000 non-biting sterile male lab mosquitoes in an uninhabited forest area in eastern Malaysia on December 21.

Another 6,000 wild male Aedes aegypti mosquitoes were also placed in the area for scientific comparison, it said in a statement.

...

The number of dengue-linked deaths in Malaysia increased by 52 per cent last year from 88 deaths in 2009. The total dengue infections rose 11 per cent from 2009 to more than 46,000 cases last year.

Dengue fever is common in Asia and Latin America. Symptoms include high fever, joint pains and nausea, but in severe cases, it can lead to internal bleeding, circulatory shutdown and death. There is no known cure or vaccine.

From Shakespeare to Defoe: Malaria in England in the Little Ice Age
...

Malaria in England ? YEP!
...
The English word for malaria was ague, a term that remained in common usage until the 19th century. The Medieval Warm Period was already on the wane when Geoffrey Chaucer (1342-1400) wrote, in the Nun's Priest's Tale, "You are so very choleric of complexion./ Beware the mounting sun and all dejection,/ Nor get yourself with sudden humours hot;/ For if you do, I dare well lay a groat/ That you shall have the tertian fever's pain,/ Or some ague that may well be your bane."

Such mention of agues did not disappear when the coldest years of the Little Ice Age began. In 16th century England, many marshlands were notorious for their ague-stricken populations and remained so well into the 19th century. William Shakespeare (1564–1616), who was born in the autumn of Bruegel's first fierce winter, mentioned ague in eight of his plays. For example, in The Tempest (Act II, Scene II), the slave Caliban curses Prosper, his master: "All the infections that the sun sucks up/ From bogs, fens, flats, on Prosper fall and make him / By inch-meal a disease!" Later, Caliban is terrified by the appearance of Stephano, who, mistaking his trembling and apparent delirium for an attack of malaria, tries to cure the symptoms with alcohol: ". . . (he) hath got, as I take it, an ague . . . he's in his fit now and does not talk after the wisest. He shall taste of my bottle: if he have never drunk wine afore it will go near to remove his fit . . . Open your mouth: this will shake your shaking . . . if all the wine in my bottle will recover him, I will help his ague."
...
Conclusion

In 1975, the World Health Organization declared that Europe was free of malaria. The last indigenous case in England had been in the 1950s and in Bruegel's Holland in 1961. Results were equally spectacular on other continents. By 1977, 83% of the world's population was living in regions from which malaria had been eradicated or control activities were in progress. The only areas in which the control effort was limited were those of high endemic stability, particularly sub-Saharan Africa.

However, this momentum could not be sustained, and the goal of worldwide eradication was abandoned [Gee they stopped using DDT! ] . Today, the disease is again common in many parts of Central America, the northern half of South America, much of tropical and subtropical Asia, some Mediterranean countries and many of the republics once part of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. This rapid recrudescence has been attributed to population increase, forest clearance, irrigation and other agricultural activities, ecologic change, movement of people, urbanization, deterioration of public health services, resistance to insecticides and antimalarial drugs, deterioration of vector control operations, and disruptions from war, civil strife, and natural disasters. Claims that malaria resurgence is due to climate change ignore these realities and disregard history. For example, the many statements that recent climate change has caused malaria to ascend to new altitudes (10,31,32) are contradicted by records of its distribution in 1880 to 1945 (33-35).

With the return of malaria, there has been an exponential rise in international travel. Tens of thousands of cases are imported into Europe and North America each year. As was anticipated 30 years ago (36), a few of these cases give rise to autochthonous transmission by indigenous mosquitoes.

In much of Western Europe, the likelihood that malaria will become reestablished is probably small (37). However, in countries (e.g., in the Balkans) where malaria control has ceased but the probability of transmission remains high, reintroduction could threaten the public health. Indigenous transmission associated with imported cases has recently been reported in Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Bulgaria, the Republic of Moldova, Romania, Italy, and Corsica, and the malaria-free status of Europe may be in jeopardy (38). Public concern should focus on ways to deal with the realities of malaria transmission, rather than on the weather.

Despite a lack of scientific evidence, DDT was banned in many countries in the early 1970s following concerns about
its environmental and human health impacts. However, the negative impacts from DDT use in agriculture, which led to
the concerns, are vastly different from the impacts of DDT used in health control.

Therapeutic Implications of Acute Hepatitis C Infection
Elmar Jaeckel, MD Department of Cancer Immunology and AIDS

The hepatitis C virus's greatest weapon might very well be its silence. It is an infection that is initially asymptomatic and often goes unrecognized, anywhere from several years to more than two decades after the infection has established itself in the liver. Because of this, countless individuals in this country and elsewhere are not aware that they are, in fact, chronically infected with the virus.

This is also true during the acute stage of infection. While symptoms such as fatigue, lethargy, myalgia, low-grade fever, nausea and vomiting do occur in patients with acute HCV infection, they are virtually indistinguishable from more common and benign viral infections and, as a result, usually go unchecked.

Even one of HCV's hallmark features-jaundice-develops in fewer than half of all individuals during acute infection, even though HCV-RNA and liver enzyme levels are usually at their highest.

Researchers show laboratory hepatitis C strain is also infectious in animal models

An important step in developing a treatment for viral diseases is for scientists to culture live viruses from infected patients, but the hepatitis C virus (HCV), a major cause of chronic and sometimes fatal liver disease, has proven to be particularly wily.

For many years scientists have struggled with an inability to efficiently culture HCV in the laboratory.

Now, researchers at Rockefeller University have overcome several obstacles and successfully shown that a strain of HCV they created in the laboratory, which can efficiently be cultured in vitro, is also infectious in animals.

There will be a time when the "elites" will get a special set of vaccine shots that give them immunity to these creations released into the "wild". So while millions die an early death they will continue on ...  HCV a silent killer....

They will wonder how did I get HCV? Why do I have liver cancer?

Synthetic gene for the hepatitis C virus nucleocapsid protein
Received December 7, 1992; Revised and Accepted April 30, 1993

ABSTRACT
A synthetic gene encoding the hepatitis C virus (HCV) nucleocapsid protein was constructed and expressed in E.coli.
...
Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a recently identified agent responsible for most cases of post-transfusion non-A, non-B (NANB) hepatitis worldwide (1).
...
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Sequence design
The sequence for synthesis of the gene encoding for the nucleocapsid protein of HCV was obtained from published data (35).

Immunology

Three percent of the world’s population is currently infected by hepatitis C. The virus hides in the liver and can cause cirrhosis and liver cancer, and it’s the most frequent cause of liver transplants in Denmark. Since the virus mutates strongly, we have no traditional vaccine, but researchers at the University of Copenhagen are now the first to succeed in developing a vaccine, which provides future hope for medical protection from this type of hepatitis.

“The hepatitis C virus (HCV) has the same infection pathways as HIV,” says Jan Pravsgaard Christensen, Associate Professor of Infection Immunology at the Faculty of Health Sciences, University of Copenhagen. HCV tends to spread rapidly in third-world countries because of bad hygiene in hospitals. (c) CSGH

HCV mutates too fast for traditional vaccines  [rapid mutation is an indication of a "recent" creation" i.e. man made - nature does not create rapidly mutating entities ]
...
“We took a dead common cold virus, an adenovirus that is completely harmless and which many of us have met in childhood,” Associate Professor Pravsgaard Christensen explains.

“We hid the gene for one of the HCV’s internal molecules inside it. At the same time we attached a special molecule on the internal molecule so that when the cells of the mouse body tried to take a sample, they would extract a more extensive section. The immune defences would then be presented with a larger section of the molecule concerned. You may say that the immune defences were given an entire palm print of the internal genes instead of just a single fingerprint.”

The new technology to be tested in monkeys
Another virus that mutates its surface molecules with extreme rapidity is HIV. It changes skin in the space of 24 hours, and like HCV, we do not yet have a cure or a vaccine. The researchers think that HIV originally migrated to man from monkeys in the 1930s, when it was the simian Immunodeficiency virus that still circulates among a number of species of wild African monkeys.

“The Danish Medical Research Council (DMRC) has given postdoc Peter Holst a grant to test our technology for a SIV vaccine for macaque monkeys in the US,” says Associate Professor Pravsgaard Christensen.

The University of Copenhagen is also currently negotiating the sale of the patent for the process so that the technology can be developed for use in human vaccines.

The discovery of an effective HCV vaccine has just been published in the Journal of Immunology

 I had dingy fever in South America, I was helped by locals and recovered with the common folks remedy, gallons of  their tea every day.
 The same was true when I got hepatitis from contaminated water, no hospitals, no doctors, TEA and bed rest.

As an as side..

Vietnam troops injecting heroin contract HCV -> they provide blood for MASH units and surviving wounded troops contract HCV ,
Vietnam vets return home still using and share needles infecting more people. Domestic IV drug users provide blood for money to get their fix and the domestic blood supply is tainted.

Since HCV takes longer than HBV to show itself, there is a delayed reaction to the risk to the blood supply from HCV.

But of course they must have known since HCV was and has always been endemic to south east Asia... hmmm.

Dengue in Florida.....

...
Officials are targeting the Aedes aegypti mosquitoes because they can spread dengue fever, a disease health officials thought had been eradicated in the U.S. until 93 cases originated in the Keys in 2009 and 2010.
 
The trial planned by mosquito control officials and the British company Oxitec would release non-biting male mosquitoes that have been genetically modified to pass along a birth defect that kill their progeny before reaching maturity.

The idea is that they will mate with wild females and their children will die before reproducing. After a few generations, Key West's Aedes aegypti population would die off, reducing the dengue fever risk without using pesticides and at relatively a low cost, the proponents say. There is no vaccine for dengue fever.
... 
Only female mosquitoes bite, so the modified genetic material wouldn't be passed on to humans, Mosquito control and Oxitec officials said. They also say they're being transparent about their data and the trial.

Real estate agent Mila de Mier has collected more than 117,700 signatures on a petition she posted on Change.org against the trial. Most come from outside the Keys, which de Mier says shows that tourists don't support the mosquito control district.
