smallpox.
Zagorsk-6 received infectious agents from international exchange programmes and from natural sources. Its employees raised animal hosts for the pathogens and then infected test subject animals to measure the pathogen's potential for use as a biological weapon and the effectiveness of vaccines, which they also worked on. Among the former, the institute validated the military use of Coxiella burnetii and weaponised the India-1967 strain of smallpox. In 1995, antibodies for emergency prophylaxis against Ebola were developed at Zagorsk-6.
After the collapse of the USSR, the biological weapons research went on hiatus. The work resumed several years later; Zagorsk-6 was reorganised as one of the research centres under the 48th Central Scientific Research Institute. From 2021, the centre is undergoing a significant expansion as of 2024; several new high-containment buildings can be seen on satellite maps.
