In the 30s of the last century, an unknown epidemic broke out. The first victims were soldiers who served in the Far East. There have been many deaths. Even then, the suspicion arose that the secret development of Japanese scientists was the cause of the epidemic, however, it was not possible to prove this version.
Secret laboratory in Harbin
A commission was set up to study an unknown disease that was close to encephalitis, and the expedition headed by Professor Zilber went to the area of the epidemic outbreak.
To understand the ways in which the infection occurs and what is the nature of the disease, scientists deliberately infected themselves. Having lost one of the researchers, the scientists still achieved their goal.
The disease has been found to carry a tick
Why did suspicion fall on Japanese microbiologists?

Near Harbin, a secret laboratory was discovered, in which bacilli of the most dangerous deadly diseases were bred. The experimental prisoners were also kept there, on which experiments were carried out.
In 45, the unfortunates were destroyed, and the laboratory itself was blown up.
In 1949, a trial of Japanese fiendish scientists took place. This is how it became known that they also worked on tick-borne encephalitis there.
True, there is no consensus among scientists about whether this disease is caused by artificial means. And yet this version has a right to exist.
