Federal investigators are probing how vials of smallpox made their way into a storage room at a Food and Drug Administration lab near the US capital,
The vials were labelled "variola," another name for smallpox, and appear to date from the 1950s, the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said in a statement.
They were found in an unused portion of a storeroom in an FDA laboratory, located on the National Institutes of Health campus in Bethesda, Maryland.
There is no evidence that the vials had been opened, and "onsite biosafety personnel have not identified any infectious exposure risk to lab workers or the public," the CDC said.
The vials have been moved to a high-security lab at the CDC headquarters in Atlanta, Georgia.
