researchers

AUSTIN – Federal authorities are investigating two cases from last year in which Texas A&M researchers were infected with biological weapons agents – including the university's failure to report the exposures when they happened.

New documents obtained by The Sunshine Project, an Austin-based bioweapons watchdog group, show three researchers tested positive for exposure to the weapons agent Q fever in April 2006, two months after another researcher fell ill following contact with the agent Brucella.
