Based on a review of the data, it is widespread, very serious, and is in muchhigher concentrations in Roundup Ready (RR) soybeans and cornsuggesting a link with the RR gene or more likely the presence of Roundup.This organismappears NEW to science!This is highly sensitive information that could result in a collapse of US soy and corn export markets and significant disruption of domestic food and feedsupplies. On the other hand, this new organism may already be responsible for significant harm (see below). My colleagues and I are therefore moving ourinvestigation forward with speed and discretion, and seek assistance from the USDA and other entities to identify the pathogens source, prevalence,implications, and remedies.We are informing the USDA of our findings at this early stage, specifically due to your pending decision regarding approval of RR alfalfa. Naturally, ifeither the RR gene or Roundup itself is a promoter or co-factor of this pathogen, then such approval could be a calamity.Based on the current evidence, the only reasonable action at this time would be to delay deregulation at least until sufficient data has exonerated the RRsystem, if it does.For the past 40 years, I have been a scientist in the professional and military agencies that evaluate and prepare for natural and manmade biologicalthreats, including germ warfare and disease outbreaks. Based on this experience, I believe the threat we are facing from this pathogen is unique and of ahigh risk status. In laymans terms, it should be treated as an emergency.A diverse set of researchers working on this problem have contributed various pieces of the puzzle, which together presents the following disturbingscenario: Unique Physical PropertiesThis previously unknown organism is only visible under an electron microscope (36,000X), with an approximate size range equal to a medium size virus. It isable to reproduce and appears to be a micro-fungal-like organism. If so, it would be the first such micro-fungus ever identified. There is strong evidencethat this infectious agent promotes diseases of both plants and mammals, which is very rare.It is found in high concentrations in Roundup Ready soybean meal and corn, distillers meal, fermentation feed products, pig stomach contents, and pig andcattle placentas.The organism is prolific in plants infected with two pervasive diseases that are driving down yields and farmer incomesudden death syndrome (SDS) in soy,and Goss wilt in corn. The pathogen is also found in the fungal causative agent of SDS (Fusarium solani fsp glycines).Laboratory tests have confirmed the presence of this organism in a wide variety of livestock that have experienced spontaneous abortions and infertility.Preliminary results from ongoing research have also been able to reproduce abortions in a clinical setting.The pathogen may explain the escalating frequency of infertility and spontaneous abortions over the past few years in US cattle, dairy, swine, and horseoperations. These include recent reports of infertility rates in dairy heifers of over 20%, and spontaneous abortions in cattle as high as 45%.For example, 450 of 1,000 pregnant heifers fed wheatlege experienced spontaneous abortions. Over the same period, another 1,000 heifers from the same herdthat were raised on hay had no abortions. High concentrations of the pathogen were confirmed on the wheatlege, which likely had been under weed managementusing glyphosate.In summary, because of the high titer of this new animal pathogen in Roundup Ready crops, and its association with plant and animal diseases that arereaching epidemic proportions, we request USDAs participation in a multi-agency investigation, and an immediate moratorium on the deregulation of RR cropsuntil the causal/predisposing relationship with glyphosate and/or RR plants can be ruled out as a threat to crop and animal production and human health.It is urgent to examine whether the side-effects of glyphosate use may have facilitated the growth of this pathogen, or allowed it to cause greater harm toweakened plant and animal hosts. It is well-documented that glyphosate promotes soil pathogens and is already implicated with the increase of more than 40plant diseases; it dismantles plant de
