In the cases of the twelve recornnded infected people with Photorhabdus Species the report says that it could only have been a nematode or invertebrate that infected these people. I think that was based upon no genetic changes being made to the nematode. Their are altogether many more possibilities if you take into account the above.
I cannot, for the life of me, realise or see, how it was that the Dr Randy Gaugler, and his colleagues, could not see the danger in what they were doing. It was not a daffodill’s colour genes they were changing. It was a predator organism and its homicidal passenger that they were enhancing and making more powerful.
Also they knew of the interaction and exchange of genes at the genetic level between the bacteria and its invaded victims bacteria, as exampled by the finding of exchanged DNA between Photorhabdus Species and the plague bacteria Yersinia. Therefore they new this bacteria could exchange DNA when released within invaded organisms. With the nematodes ability to invade a wider spectrrumof organisms, and humans, the bacteria have access to a wider range of bacteria to interact with, including bacteria specifically harmful to humans, salmonella, staphylloccocus etc.
Finally with that in mind they knew that the nematode offspring would uptake any bacteria present including the genetically altered bacteria which itself would have an effect upon the genes of the next generation of nematodes produced.
The paper “Nematode Symbiont for Photorhabdus asymbiotica” to be found at:
http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/EID/vol12no10/06-0464.htm acually confirms that the one of twelve cases of human infection was confirmed as being caused by the Heterorhabditis nematode.
see:
Phylogenetic analysis of these data confirmed that the human- and nematode-derived isolates of Photorhabdus were the same strain (referred to as P. asymbiotica Kingscliff.
Photorhabdus asymbiotica has been shown to be a nematode symbiont; the specific epithet is a misnomer.
(Phylogenetic analysis = is the study of evolutionary relatedness among various groups of organisms.)
(misnomer = is a term which suggests an interpretation known not to be true.)
2. DETAILS OF FACTS & EVENTS
Dear Dr Ailsa Wight F.A.O. The UK Department of Health, Chief Medical Officer
To whom it may concern,
(and believe me it concerns ,us all)
I wish to officially request that an urgent investigation is immediately launched into what I believe could be
“the greatest single threat to human health since the discovery of AIDS”.
In particular, the release of a “transgenic nematode” (genetically altered and enhanced nematode) ,and subsequent trillions of releases since 1996 into the environment, via a loophole in United States law.
See:
http://www.isb.vt.edu/epasrc/enacted/epa.gui.txt (The Law)
See:
http://www.aphis.usda.gov/brs/arthro.../9605201r.html (Evidence of its use)
From this I learned that:
The United States Environmental Protection Agency does not regulate insecticidal nematodes (Gorsuch, 1982), including genetically engineered strains (Andersen, personal communication).
Also backed up by an article by the same Dr Randy Gaugler which is to be found at:
see:
http://www.gcsaa.org/gcm/1997/dec97/12nema.html
From this I read:
Regulatory constraints have hindered the development of some genetically engineered organisms. Insecticidal nematodes, however, possess a unique niche in the regulatory environment. In 1996, we readily obtained approval at federal, state and local levels to release our transgenic strain into turfgrass field plots at the Rutgers Upper Deerfield Experiment Station in Salem County, N.J. (4). Results from the study support the regulatory view that the transgenic nematode strain is an unlikely environmental threat.
The release of which has infected humans and led to the emergence of a new pathogen, Photorhabdus luminescens, both of which cause serious harm to health in humans. One only recently documented, the other as yet undisclosed, until now!
Before you read through this document, keep one statement (PUBLISHED UPON THE CDC’S, Centre for Disease Control website), in mind at all times, which is:
Dispatch
Photorhabdus Species: Bioluminescent Bacteria as Emerging Human Pathogens?
Genes encoding homologues of insecticidal toxins from Photorhabdus spp occur naturally within the genome of
Yersinia pestis, the cause of plague.
Lateral transfer of genetic material between Photorhabdus and Yersinia species is thought to have resulted from their common association with insects as bacterial pathogens.
It seems likely therefore that Photorhabdus spp are transmitted to humans by a terrestrial invertebrate (nematode or arthropod), but that vector (delivery method) has not yet been identified.
See at:
http://www.cdc.gov/ncidod/eid/vol9no2/02-0222.htm#1 The result of this gerry-mandering and jiggery-pokery at a genetic level, without the need for authorisation to do so, or the need for authorisation as to its’ eventual release and use, has resulted in the release of a Nematode with super-powers, if you like “The Nematode Nemesis “I have found evidence of twelve cases of infection by a bacteria associated with, and produced from within nematodes’, Photorhabdus Species, this is the bacteria that is produced within the nematode and released within its host, feeding the nematode and causing the death of the host. In fact this evidence is further sensationalised, and the link between the bacteria and the transgenic nematodes’ further qualified, by the fact that Photorhabdus Species bacteria is bio-luminescent, which is historically only seen in marine species.
