2026年10月6日 俄罗斯一家鼠疫研究所的一名实验室工作人员死亡，引发了关于实验室事故、数百人感染以及疫情国际传播的说法。其中一些病毒式传播的叙事具有误导性。
October 6, 2026 The death of a lab worker at a plague research institute in Russia has sparked claims about a lab accident, hundreds of infections and international spread. Some of these viral narratives are misleading.
该图片由伊尔库茨克研究所发布。然而，该研究所未就实验室当前的生物安全措施相关问题作出回应。据报道，在俄罗斯一家专门研究鼠疫及其他传染病的研究所中，一名实验室工作人员因重症肺炎去世后，数十人被置于医学观察之下。
The image was published by the Irkutsk institute. However, the institute did not respond to questions about the laboratory’s current biosafety measures Dozens of people were reportedly placed under observation after a laboratory worker at a Russian institute dedicated to studying plague and other infectious diseases died of severe pneumonia. The case quickly became the subject of intense speculation on social media.
该事件迅速成为社交媒体上激烈猜测的焦点。相关帖子内容从表达恐惧、将其与新冠疫情相提并论，到提出一些未经证实的关于实验室事故的说法不一。德国之声事实核查部门审查了网上流传的几项说法。伊尔库茨克鼠疫实验室事故指控仍未获证实说法：“给那些没看懂的人：在伊尔库茨克，一名实验室技术员打碎了一个装有鼠疫病毒的烧瓶，随后感染了该疾病，几天后死亡，”一名用户用俄语发帖称。
Posts have ranged from expressions of fear and comparisons with the COVID-19 pandemic to claims about the laboratory incident that have not been substantiated. DW Fact Check has examined several of the claims circulating online. Alleged plague lab accident in Irkutsk remains unproven Claim:
“这件事发生在9月25日，到10月2日她已经死了。在此期间，她已感染了数百人。”该帖子附有一张据称是这名实验室工作人员的照片，浏览量超过32万次。
"For those who don't get it: in Irkutsk, a lab technician broke a flask containing the plague virus and became infected with the disease, dying a few days later," a user posted on in Russian. "This happened on September 25, and by October 2, she was already dead.
未获证实 没有独立证据证实西伯利亚和远东地区抗鼠疫研究所在伊尔库茨克发生了鼠疫病原体泄漏。“一名实验室技术员打碎了一个装有鼠疫病毒的烧瓶。”这一说法在网上广泛传播，但仍未得到证实。
In the meantime, she had infected several hundred people." The post, which included a photo of the alleged laboratory worker, garnered over 320,000 views. Unproven There is no independent evidence confirming that a leak of the plague pathogen occurred at the Irkutsk Antiplague Research Institute of Siberia and Far East "A lab technician broke a flask containing the plague virus."
相反，俄罗斯的公共卫生机构——俄罗斯联邦消费者权益保护和监察署（Rospotrebnadzor）表示，两个调查该研究所生物安全程序的委员会发现“没有涉及病原微生物事故的任何证据”。俄罗斯通讯社塔斯社（TASS）援引该机构的说法称，对已故员工的检测也未发现与其职业活动相关的微生物。
The claim has spread widely online, but remains unproven. On the contrary, Russia 's public health authority, Rospotrebnadzor, said that two commissions investigating biosafety procedures at the institute found "no evidence of an accident involving pathogenic microorganisms."
一些社交媒体用户试图驳斥有关试管破裂的说法，他们指出，在高安全等级实验室中，为了降低事故风险，玻璃器皿的使用可能受到限制甚至完全禁止。
The Russian news agency TASS, citing Rospotrebnadzor also reported that tests on the deceased employee detected no microorganisms linked to her professional activity.
伊尔库茨克研究所确实处理高致病性微生物，包括被俄罗斯列为最高致病性级别的菌株，例如引起鼠疫的耶尔森菌（Yersinia pestis）。
Some social media users have tried to debunk the claim about a broken test tube, pointing to safety standards in high-containment laboratories, where the use of glassware may be restricted or completely banned to reduce the risk of accidents.
然而，《德国之声》（DW）无法独立核实该研究所实验室的官方生物安全等级。
The Irkutsk institute does work with highly pathogenic microorganisms including strains classified in Russia's highest pathogenicity groups, such as Yersinia pestis, the bacterium that causes plague.
生物安全等级（BSL）是一种国际分类，用于描述处理危险病原体时所需采取的隔离措施，其中BSL-4专门用于最危险的病原体。
However, DW could not independently verify the formally designated biosafety level of the institute's laboratories.
《德国之声》曾请求伊尔库茨克抗鼠疫研究所就所称事件及其实验室安全程序发表评论，但在文章发布时尚未收到回应。
Biosafety level or BSL, is an international classification describing the containment measures required when handling dangerous pathogens, with BSL-4 reserved for the most hazardous agents.
世界卫生组织（WHO）网站更新与俄罗斯事件无关：“世界卫生组织似乎在与伊尔库茨克实验室工作人员入院同一天更新了关于鼠疫的事实清单，而该工作人员（很可能）感染了鼠疫。”这一说法出现在多则帖子中，每则帖子的浏览量都达到了数千次。
DW asked the Irkutsk Antiplague Research Institute to comment on the alleged incident and its laboratory safety procedures but had received no response by the time of publication. WHO website update unrelated to the Russian case "The WHO appears to have updated its fact sheet on plague the same day the Irkutsk lab worker presented at hospital, with (probably) the plague."
误导性信息：世界卫生组织（WHO）确实在俄罗斯实验室工作人员入院同一天更新了其鼠疫事实清单，但没有任何证据表明这两起事件存在关联。
This claim appeared in a number of posts on each reaching thousands of users.
许多社交媒体用户将世界卫生组织近期更新其鼠疫信息单与伊尔库茨克据称发生的病例联系起来。据媒体报道，该实验室工作人员可能在9月25日左右接触到了鼠疫耶尔森菌。四天后，即9月29日，她因严重的呼吸道症状被送往谢列霍夫医院接受治疗。
Misleading The World Health Organization (WHO) updated its plague fact sheet on the same day the Russian laboratory worker was hospitalized, but no evidence links the two events. Many social media users have linked the WHO’s recent update of its plague fact sheet to the alleged case in Irkutsk According to media reports, the laboratory worker may have been exposed to Yersinia pestis around September 25. Four days later, on September 29, she was hospitalized in Shelekhov with severe respiratory symptoms.
世界卫生组织于9月29日更新了其鼠疫信息单，同日还发布了关于全球霍乱、脑膜炎和鼠疫趋势的新闻稿。此次更新是世界卫生组织传染病出版周期的一部分。
The WHO updated its plague fact sheet on September 29, the same day it published a news release on global trends in cholera, meningitis and plague. The update was part of a broader WHO publication cycle on infectious disease.
该新闻稿报告了涵盖2019年至2025年的全球监测数据，并指出相关发现已刊登于9月25日发布的《每周流行病学记录》最新一期中。
The release reported global surveillance data covering 2019 to 2025 and said the findings were published in the latest edition of the Weekly Epidemiological Record, which was released on September 25.
因此，时间上的巧合似乎纯属偶然。世界卫生组织此前版本的鼠疫信息单，可通过存档页面访问，其日期为2022年7月7日。
The timing therefore appears coincidental. The previous version of the WHO's plague fact sheet, accessible as an archived page was dated July 7, 2022.
分享该说法的社交媒体账号在10月份更改了名称，新名称暗示其正在伊尔库茨克进行现场报道。其个人简介自称提供“关于伊尔库茨克实验室泄漏的有来源更新”以及“实时突发最新消息”。然而，该账号的个人资料显示，它创建于5月，且位于澳大利亚。
The social media account sharing the claim also changed its name in October to one that suggests it is reporting live from Irkutsk. Its profile describes itself as providing "sourced updates on the Irkutsk lab leak" and "latest news as it breaks live." However, the account's profile indicates that it was created in May and is based in Australia.
此类账号往往在突发新闻事件中迅速出现，伪装成当地或专业信源，同时传播未经证实的信息。
Such accounts can emerge quickly during breaking news events, presenting themselves as local or specialist sources while sharing unverified information.
旧视频被错误关联至俄罗斯当前鼠疫传言 随着鼠疫消息的传播，一些旧视频被挪作他用，加剧了虚假信息的扩散。在其中一个视频中，用户声称鼠疫已蔓延至俄罗斯其他地区。俄语配文写道：“鼠疫正席卷俄罗斯。上帝听到了我们的祈祷！”该视频为旧视频，与伊尔库茨克的当前事态无关。反向图片搜索显示，该视频最初于今年8月31日发布，声称拍摄地为俄罗斯卡巴尔达-巴尔卡里亚共和国，该旅游胜地距离伊尔库茨克约6000公里（3700英里）。
Old video falsely linked to current plague claims in Russia As news of the plague spreads, some old videos are being repurposed, adding to the disinformation. In one such video a user claimed that the plague has also spread to other parts of Russia. The caption in Russian reads, "The plague marches across Russia. God has heard our prayers!" The video is old and unrelated to the current developments in Irkutsk.
用户分享的视频确实显示了俄罗斯检测到鼠疫病原体的地区，但距离伊尔库茨克数千公里 该旧视频在Instagram上的观看量已超过170万次。同一视频也被发布在Telegram上。俄罗斯塔斯社于8月31日报道称，当地松鼠检测出鼠疫病原体，该区域已对游客关闭。
A reverse image search reveals that the video was initially posted on August 31 this year, claiming that it showed the Russian republic of Kabardino-Balkaria, a tourist destination around 6,000 kilometers (3,700 miiles) from Irkutsk. The video shared by users does show a region in Russia where the plague pathogen has been detected, but it is thousands of kilometres from Irkutsk The old video has been viewed more than 1.7 million times on Instagram. The same video was also posted on Telegram The Russian news agency TASS reported on August 31 that the plague pathogen had been detected in local squirrels and that the area had been closed to tourists.
视频中可听到一人用俄语说：“这是从铺装路面通往谢列布里亚内伊斯托奇尼克的岔路口。”谢列布里亚内伊斯托奇尼克（意为“银泉”）是位于卡巴尔达-巴尔卡里亚共和国吉利苏区的一处泉水。
In the video, a person can be heard saying, "It's at the turnoff from the paved road toward Serebryany Istochnik" in Russian. Serebryany Istochnik, or Silver Spring, is a spring located in the Dzhily-Su area in Kabardino-Balkaria.
伊尔库茨克地区的情况仍在调查中，但目前没有俄罗斯爆发鼠疫的确切报告。在实验室工作人员死亡后，卫生部门已采取预防措施，据报道相关检测正在进行中。编辑：约沙·韦伯
The situation in the Irkutsk region is still being investigated, but there are no confirmed reports of a plague outbreak in Russia. Health authorities have introduced precautionary measures following the death of the laboratory worker, while tests are reportedly being carried out. Edited by: Joscha Weber
