These include nearly 100 bottles of Hendra virus, two bottles of Hantavirus and 223 bottles of rabies virus-all of which are extremely deadly to human beings. The Queensland authorities insist that although these samples can be used as weapons, it is "not something that amateurs can do". The sample was lost in 2021, but investigators did not confirm the leak until August 2023.

It is not clear where these samples may be or whether they have been destroyed. However, there is no evidence that the public is at risk of infection because of the disappearance of samples.
