Georgian, Russian scientists to work on joint project

Georgian and Russian Federation scientists will work on a project studying the endemic types of plague among rodents. According to the Head of the National Centre for Disease Control and Public Health of Georgia Amiran Gamkrelidze, the agreement on joint work on this project will be signed in the near future.

As is already known, Georgian and Russian journalists visited the laboratory named after Lugar. The invitation for viewing the lab was repeatedly sent by Gamkrelidze to the Chief Sanitary Doctor of Russian federation, Gennady Onishchenko.

"We have launched a joint Russian, Georgian project with one of the scientific institutions which is under Onishchenko's directive. A three-year agreement on a general scientific project is being prepared which will focus on endemic types of plague and its strains among rodents," Gamkrelidze stated.
