A former Canadian Food Inspection Agency researcher has pleaded guilty to attempting to export an infectious agent to China.

Nielsen was on his way to the Ottawa airport with 17 vials of bacteria that can infect humans and livestock

The agreed statement of facts also said Nielsen met with foreign officials regarding brucellosis and he made brucellosis kits in 2010 through a company in China, which is illegal.

Email records also show Nielsen used CFIA’s intellectual property to build the kits and he tried to avoid taxes by making it look as if his company was based in China.
