National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease (Canada) Entry

This entry should be removed as the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's National Centre for Foreign Animal Disease as well as the Public Health Agency of Canada's National Microbiology Laboratory are in the same complex.

Canada has only has one BSL-4 laboratory.

It is the CANADIAN SCIENCE CENTRE FOR HUMAN AND ANIMAL HEALTH (CSCHAH) is jointly run by the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency. It is located in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Thank you, the correction has been made. ChyranandChloe (talk) 03:40, 17 December 2008 (UTC)

Popular Culture

Why exactly was this section removed? Waydot (talk) 22:41, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

It was unverified (WP:V), and only reproduced bits from the old Ebola article. It should be incorporated into the History section, describing its impact on society. ChyranandChloe (talk) 22:44, 14 March 2009 (UTC)
Unverified? It said the levels are described in a movie (Outbreak). Verification of the fact can be made by watching the movie. I've seen it, and that's how I was first informed of existence of BSLs.Waydot (talk) 22:49, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

While we're at it, reference to fictional BSL5 labs could be put such section if it were to come back.Waydot (talk) 22:49, 14 March 2009 (UTC)

I've brought it back as it was before. Have fun. ChyranandChloe (talk) 04:41, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

Labs to Add

  • University of Louisville: Center for Predictive Medicine
    • Details: The $34.6-million Center for Predictive Medicine, a Level 3 biosafety lab, is scheduled to open next year on UofL’s Shelby Campus. The 37,000-square-foot facility is one of 13 such labs being built through a National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases plan to better protect Americans from biological threats ... For more information, call 502-852-1113.
    • SOURCE: Center for Predictive Medicine > University of Louisville
    • I validate this information as being factual and true --Urda (talk) 17:59, 26 April 2009 (UTC)


The BSL-4 laboratory in Galveston has been up and running since before Hurricane Ike. It was officially dedicated in November after the storm. I'm not a Wiki-editor or I'd update it myself. Thanks! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 166.128.103.100 (talk) 00:24, 27 April 2009 (UTC)

Remove all BSL 3 labs

After reading through this article, and then doing a little bit of Googling, I realized that there are 4 BSL-3 labs within walking distance of my current location, and at least 10 within 30 minutes. I am at UNC-CH. Anyways, point is, the number of BSL-3 labs has skyrocketed at a rate so high that it is no longer relevant to list BSL-3 labs in this article. Such a list would warrant a separate article possibly. Jjesusfreak01 (talk) 21:36, 7 July 2009 (UTC)

What's usually done on Misplaced Pages is to start a new article titled List of biosafety facilities. Change notability "Level 4 are accepted because of the nature of their work. If the facility is 3 or below, it must be linked to an article elaborating on it", by requiring an article be associated with the entry, it exposes it to WP:N. Does this help? ChyranandChloe (talk) 04:28, 8 July 2009 (UTC)
Well, you are in a university/agricultural town, but I see your point. If done, perhaps list these labs by their public/private funding?biopunk 09:00, 20 July 2009 (UTC)biopunk

Some info about the Institute of Virology and Immunoprophylaxis (IVI)

It is correct, that there are treated only animal diseases, but some are also dangerous for humans
(rabies, avian flu, porcine flu, etc...), therefore in some experiments suits are worn! Please, somebody with a wiki-account, please correct the info. I don't have one, and I don't want to create one just for this.

Regards.
