FRAUD(CHI)’S VARIANT: Dr. Anthony Fauci’s NIH division also funded $375K beagle torture in Tunisia

Drugged beagles had their heads locked in mesh cages filled with hundreds of infected sand flies. The dogs were also left alone in cages in the desert overnight for nine consecutive nights to use them as bait to attract infectious sand flies.

AMANDA NIEVES: We’ve [learned] about how Anthony Fauci is funding wasteful $424,000 parasite experiments on beagles in which the dogs are “vocalizing in pain.” And we’ve [learned] about how he shipped tax dollars to Wuhan, China for dangerous coronavirus experiments on animals that experts, and most Americans, believe caused the pandemic.

Now, [we learn that] Dr. Fauci was sentencing beagles to death on taxpayers’ dime overseas, too? Photos and government records discovered by investigators from White Coat Waste Project show that Fauci’s NIH division shipped part of a $375,800 grant to a lab in Tunisia (where the NIH has no oversight and there are no laws protecting animals used in experiments) to drug beagles and lock their heads in mesh cages filled with hundreds of infected sand flies…

In this study, the experimenters starved the flies so they’re hungry and “the sand flies were then allowed to feed on the sedated dogs”… also the beagles were locked alone in cages in the desert overnight for nine consecutive nights to use them as bait to attract infectious sand flies. SOURCE…

According to the research article:

“The sand fly Phlebotomus perniciosus is the main vector of Leishmania infantum, etiological agent of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis in the Western Mediterranean basin. Dogs are the main reservoir host of this disease. The main objective of this study was to determine, under both laboratory and field conditions, if dogs infected with Linfantum, were more attractive to female Pperniciosus than uninfected dogs…

We carried out a series of host choice experiments and found that infected dogs were significantly more attractive to Pperniciosus than uninfected dogs in the laboratory as well as in the field. Significantly more Pperniciosus fed on infected dogs than on uninfected dogs. However, the fecundity of Pperniciosus fed on infected dogs was adversely impacted compared to uninfected dogs by lowering the number of laid eggs. Phlebotomus perfiliewi, the second most abundant sand fly species in the field site and a competent vector of Linfantum had similar trends of attractivity as Pperniciosus toward infected dogs under field conditions…

The results strongly suggest that Linfantum causes physiological changes in the reservoir host which lead to the host becoming more attractive to both male and female Pperniciosus. These changes are likely to improve the chance of successful transmission because of increased contact with infected hosts and therefore, infected dogs should be particularly targeted in the control of zoonotic visceral leishmaniasis in North Africa”.
