Researchers in Peking University say they have been retaliated. What happened?
Recently, a researcher reported the safety of monkey B virus at the Experimental Animal Center of Peking University. Li Xiao, the whistleblower, said that according to the relevant regulations, the experimental animal center does not have the relevant facilities and protective conditions needed to carry out this research, and there are certain security risks.

According to related papers, monkey B virus is the pathogen of human and animals. It is widely distributed in monkeys and has a high mortality rate. Infected by the virus will lead to diseases such as encephalomyelitis, and the mortality rate of untreated infected people is as high as 80%, even survivors will leave sequelae. The whistleblower said that this is actually not his familiar field, but after consulting the information, he found that the virus belongs to biosafety level 4 pathogen, so the research on the virus should be carried out in P4 laboratory, and the materials suspected of the virus should be carried out in P3 or above laboratory, but the experimental animal center does not have relevant facilities and protective conditions. The reporter is 4 1 year old and has worked in the experimental animal center for 13 years. Prior to this, he was mainly engaged in reproductive technology services for experimental animals. From 2065438 to 2008, his work was adjusted. In addition to his previous work, he also increased the research on the specific detection method of monkey B virus. After being transferred from his post, he said that the former director of the center retaliated against him. However, the former director said that he did not retaliate against the whistleblower, and his research on the virus did not require contact with the virus. He also said it was the easiest job. Established in 2005, Laboratory Animal Center aims to provide laboratory animal breeding, animal genetic modification and other related scientific research services for life sciences and other related disciplines in Peking University. The center mainly includes six parts: experimental facilities such as Area A, Area B, Area C and P2, common monkey house and common breeding facilities. The former director said that the biosafety level is relative to infectious diseases of human beings or animals, but the experimental animal center does not do these experiments.
