Research into ancient Dan poses risks expert warns by the Toledo Ohio Blade Washington a genetic research on prehistoric organisms entombed in Amber could release ancient disease causing microbes into the modern world an expert has warned. Amber is the fossilized resin that bled from Trees millions of years ago sometimes in bombing and preserving insects pollen Plant fragments and microorganisms. In research reminiscent of that depicted in Michael Crichton a thriller Jurassic Park scientists Are trying to recover ancient Dan from Amber preserved insects leaves pollen and other material.

David Grimaldi told the 208th National meeting of the american chemical society. Grimaldi is chairman of the department of entomology at the american museum of natural history in new York City. Entomology is the study of insects. Grimaldi said the research carries a risk of infecting modern organisms with ancient disease causing microbes. The microbes could be a threat not Only to human beings but also to Domestic animals and plants. He cited the possibility that bacteria in Amber preserved beetles could cause disease in modern Trees. The bacteria he said almost certainly killed prehistoric Trees. Isolating viable spores of fungus from Aiu Oer would a or should a be a very controversial project a Grimaldi said.
