Nan Zhiqiao nodded, "Well, I just received the center's arrangement, the Ebola epidemic broke out in West Africa, and our infectious disease institute will send three experts to Sierra Leone with the center's rescue team to participate in the anti-epidemic rescue operation, and I am on the list." ”

Ye Zhenzhen's head banged, Ebola epidemic!

Ebola virus, Ebola virus, is a virulent virus that can cause Ebola hemorrhagic fever in humans and primates, found in 1976 in southern Sudan and the Ebola River area of Zaire, named Ebola virus according to the place of discovery, it causes Ebola hemorrhagic fever is the deadliest viral hemorrhagic fever in the world today, the symptoms of infected people are very similar to Marburg virus in the same fibroviridae, but the mortality rate is much higher than that of Marburg virus, with a mortality rate of up to 90%.

Although nearly four decades have passed since the discovery of the Ebola virus, and tests are available for this deadly virus, the fatality rate of Ebola haemorrhagic fever remains high.

She had seen a professional training video on Ebola and knew that the symptoms of Ebola virus infections were sudden onset of high fever, headache, sore throat, weakness and muscle pain, followed by vomiting, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. The virus multiplies rapidly, causing bleeding inside and outside the human body, and eventually bleeding from the mouth, nose and **, the whole person is like being slowly "melted" by the virus from the inside out, first the internal organs, then the muscle tissue, and finally the skin, and the final death of the infected person is unbearable.

As soon as she thought of this, and thought that Senior Nan would be in such a dangerous environment in the next days, Ye Zhenzhen felt uncomfortable in her heart.

Seeing the logo of China's CDC placed on Nan Zhiqiao's desk, Ye Zhenzhen knew in her heart that this was the mission of disease control people, even if she was afraid and reluctant, someone had to rush to the front.

After stabilizing her mind for a while, Ye Zhenzhen opened her mouth and asked, "Senior Nan, when will the anti-epidemic rescue team leave, and what preparations should we make before leaving?"

"The plane the morning after tomorrow, because this time I went to West Africa, in addition to helping Sierra Leone deal with the Ebola epidemic, I also had to support the construction of a local fixed biosafety laboratory, so in addition to the 200 million yuan of emergency cash exchange, food and material aid donated by our government, the rescue team sent by our China CDC mainly carried some supplies related to the epidemic, among which the Ebola test kit was contacted by me. ”

Many years ago, when Nan Zhiqiao was still doing a doctoral project, he had studied Ebola detection kits, and several high-level articles were published at that time, and there were many types of detection kits, including PCR method, ELISA method, and immunocolloidal gold method, and the three Ebola detection kits have their own characteristics in terms of detection time, sensitivity, specificity, and portability.

"Senior Nan, this time I went to West Africa to participate in the anti-epidemic activities, and the number of kits to be brought should be very large, so many kits, we have no reserves in the laboratory. Ye Zhenzhen voiced her worries.

Nan Zhiqiao took out a business card from the drawer under the desk, handed it to Ye Zhenzhen, and said, "This vaccine company has Ebola test kits in stock, you call Manager Zhang, and he will be responsible for preparing the kits needed this time." ”

Ye Zhenzhen took the business card, looked at the name on the business card, and the company name on the name, "Nanmu Group Nuojing Vaccine Biotechnology Co., Ltd."

"Senior Nan, is this a vaccine company under the Nanmu Group?"

"Yes, what's the problem?"

Ye Zhenzhen shook her head and thought to herself, since it is your company, wouldn't it be more convenient for you to contact it yourself.

Nan Zhiqiao seemed to see through Ye Zhenzhen's thoughts, and said, "This time it's a business-to-business business, and you, the research assistant, can come forward for me." ”

Nan Zhiqiao paused slightly, and added: "If anyone from the Nanmu Group asks about the names of the rescue team members who went to West Africa to fight the epidemic this time, you will say that you don't know. ”

"Oh, I see...... Do you want to keep it a secret from Uncle Nan?"

"Especially for him, it is necessary to keep it a secret. ”

Although Ye Zhenzhen somewhat understood Senior Nan's motives for not wanting her father to worry, she was still a little puzzled, "Last time I came back from the city's earthquake relief, Uncle Nan's attitude towards Senior Nan and you have improved significantly, and I may not be so opposed this time, besides, even if I want to hide it, Senior Nan, you have so many Uncle Nan's eyeliner around you, and you won't be able to hide it for long as you go abroad." ”

"He can keep this matter a secret for as long as he wants, and he may still discuss other matters, but he must not let him know about going to West Africa, at least until I leave. ”

Nan Zhiqiao said very solemnly, Ye Zhenzhen couldn't help but be a little suspicious, and asked, "Senior Nan, is there anything else hidden in this matter?"

"Yes, but I can't tell you for a while, and I'll tell you when I have a chance later, you can contact the Ebola test kits now, and all the kits will be delivered to the central cold storage before getting off work tomorrow at the latest. ”

"Okay, I'll do it right away. ”

Ye Zhenzhen left Nan Zhiqiao's office with her business card, and in the next time, put aside the laboratory work at hand and complete the relevant tasks of Nan Zhiqiao's trip to West Africa first.

Preparations went well, and by the end of the day, all the Ebola test kits were in the central cold storage, ready for the entire team to be transported to West Africa by plane.

The night before the departure of the anti-epidemic rescue team, Ye Zhenzhen had been busy in the laboratory, and by 10 o'clock in the evening, all the students in the experimental group had left by the last shuttle bus from the center, leaving only Nan Zhiqiao and Ye Zhenzhen in the huge laboratory.

Ye Zhenzhen finished cleaning up the laboratory and walked into Nan Zhiqiao's office.

Nan Zhiqiao sat in front of the computer at the desk, his hands on the keyboard were typing rapidly, and after a minute, Nan Zhiqiao stopped, raised his head, looked at the woman across the desk, and then raised his wrist to look at the time on the mechanical watch, "It's so late, you haven't gone back yet?"

Ye Zhenzhen said with some hesitation, "Well, Senior Nan, I want to go to West Africa together, can't this matter really be discussed?"

Nan Zhiqiao sighed helplessly, "Didn't I explain to you before, this kind of going abroad to participate in anti-epidemic rescue activities is different from domestic business trips, if you are in China, I can call the shots and let you go, but going abroad for rescue is an activity of the entire center or even at the national level, and the list of rescue teams has been screened layer by layer, major, education, professional title, scientific research, disease control experience, these are the scope of inspection, and I can't be the master." ”

As a result, it was already within Ye Zhenzhen's expectations, and when she asked Senior Nan again, she only had a glimmer of luck, but now that her hope is shattered, there is still some loss.

Ye Zhenzhen was about to leave the office, and before leaving, she instructed with concern: "Senior Nan, you should rest early on the plane early tomorrow morning." ”

"Wait a minute. Nan Zhiqiao stopped Ye Zhenzhen and looked at the time, "The last central shuttle has left, I'll send you back." ”
