BENGALURU — An Indian biotech company’s “breakthrough” claim that it has developed two “candidate vaccines” against the Zika virus — while being hailed as a ‘made in India’ product — has alarmed some virologists.
Krishna Ella, managing director of the Hyderabad-based Bharat Biotech, announced last week that his company is probably the first in the world to file a “global patent” for its vaccines against the virus that is suspected to cause birth defects and neurological problems, and is terrorizing Brazil and other countries in South America. The company said it started work on the vaccines a year ago using the “live” Zika virus. But despite repeated requests from IANS, neither Ella nor the company’s spokesperson revealed from where or when the company got this virus.
