Story from 2002 - Monkeypox could be used as a Bioweapon by the Russians.
Monkeypox could be used as bioweapon
By STEVE MITCHELL, UPI Medical Correspondent
JUNE 9, 2002 / 4:45 AM

The Russians worked with monkeypox virus, a close cousin to smallpox, in their bioweapons program and it is possible terrorists could use it in a biological attack against the United States, scientists and former United Nations weapons inspectors told United Press International.

Although some biological weapons experts are concerned with the possibility of terrorists using another smallpox-related virus called camelpox, which Iraq has admitted to researching, Mark Buller, a biologist at Saint Louis University who conducts research on smallpox vaccines, said he is more concerned about monkeypox.

Buller's concern stems from the fact that monkeypox, unlike camelpox, causes mortality in humans and the incidence of human infection is on the rise in central and western Africa.

Let see if Bill Gates shows up just in time with a fax for it.
