Onishchenko believes that the scientist should have made his statement in the professional community.
“Now I think that the World Health Organization should form a group of experts and go and figure it out,” the Izvestia newspaper quotes him.
At the same time, Onishchenko added that the emergence of new infections is "an inevitable process of evolution."
Earlier, Professor Jean-Jacques Muembe-Tamfum, who helped detect the Ebola virus in 1976, warned of the possible emergence of new deadly diseases.
He also said that one of the patients in the west of the Congo showed symptoms similar to the manifestations of hemorrhagic fever. At the same time, analyzes did not show that she had traces of diseases known to science.
