Missing biological material contained small amounts of Ebola gene

WINNIPEG - Canada’s National Microbiology Laboratory is reviewing its security measures after vials containing safe traces of the Ebola gene were allegedly swiped by a scientist four months ago.

Officials at the lab became aware last week that the 22 vials were missing when U.S. authorities arrested the former employee at the Manitoba-North Dakota border.

The vials, according to court documents, were in a glove, wrapped in aluminum foil and placed in a plastic bag with electrical wires. They were found in the trunk of the scientist’s car.
