The viruses which cause these viral hemorrhagic fevers are classified as BSL-4 pathogens and can be handled only in BSL-4 containment laboratories. Therefore, to develop the vaccines and treatments for these diseases, BSL-4 facility is essential. However, the BSL-4 facility available for the basic or applied research using infectious BSL-4 pathogens has not been established in Japan so far. In July 2021, the construction of BSL-4 facility was completed at the campus of Nagasaki University. After the preparation for the full operation, the facility will be approved by the Minister of Health, Labour and Welfare as a BSL-4 facility.
