In Queensland, Australia, an investigation is underway regarding the disappearance of 323 vials containing viruses from a local laboratory. The incident occurred in 2021, but it was only revealed in August 2023. Among the missing samples were Hendra virus, forest virus, and hantavirus. The likely cause was the failure of the freezer equipment where the samples were stored. An investigation is ongoing, but there are no signs of intentional theft or the creation of biological weapons. Authorities emphasize the importance of adhering to biological safety protocols in laboratories.
