Where this comes from

Abstract

More people in more places are researching the world's most dangerous pathogens. This work helps prepare against future pandemics, but it's not without danger. Pathogens could escape from research facilities, so it is vital for countries to assess potential hazards and have procedures in place to manage the risks. This doesn't happen enough.
