A new peer-reviewed study confirms that U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH)–funded scientists have genetically engineered bat-human hybrid influenza viruses using reverse genetics in Missouri.
These purported viruses are resistant to common antivirals, capable of replicating in mammalian cells, and deliberately mutated for drug resistance, raising fears of an accidental or intentional leak.

Published June 18, 2025 in Pathogens, the study was funded by NIH/NIAID grants including 1R01AI134768 and the Centers of Excellence in Influenza Research and Response (CEIRR), contract number 75N93021C00016.
That NIH contract was awarded to principal investigator Dr. Richard Webby of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee, who also serves as Director of the World Health Organization (WHO) Collaborating Centre for Studies on the Ecology of Influenza in Animals and Birds.
The new study was conducted at the University of Missouri’s Department of Veterinary Pathobiology and Center for Influenza and Emerging Infectious Diseases.
