OK, so you believe the Director of the Information and Press Department of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Russian Federation. Got it!
You want just 3 countries with labs?? With pleasure!
There are 4 levels of bio labs. (1,2,3, & 4)
BSL4 labs can handle the most dangerous pathogens.
There are currently 59 BSL4 labs.
Spread over 23 countries, the largest concentration of BSL4 labs is in
Europe, with 25 labs.
North America with 14, and
Asia with 13.
Australia has four and
Africa three.
Around 60% of BSL4 labs are government-run public-health institutions, leaving 20% run by universities and 20% by biodefence agencies. These labs are either used to diagnose infections with highly lethal and transmissible pathogens, or they are used to research these pathogens to improve our scientific understanding of how they work and to develop new drugs, vaccines and diagnostics tests.
