National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology
The National Institute of Hygiene and Epidemiology (NIHE) is located in Hanoi, Vietnam.[1]
History
In 2012, the NIHE provided the H5N1 bird flu virus to researchers who transformed it and used the product to infect ferrets.[2]
On 22 March 2017, the Japan International Cooperation Agency signed an agreement with the government of Vietnam so that the Japanese could transfer BSL3 technology to, among others, the NIHE.[3]
