Chapter 1585: Zombie Virus!
Sibina's head of state, 'Ziterman', told Ye Xiuwen that the desert boat could not go, and Ye Xiuwen was puzzled.
Although the climate in the desert area is indeed unbearable. But for the special forces, this should not be a difficult task.
Even in the desert, some areas are distorted by the magnetic field, but they can still be located according to the stars.
For example, the Big Dipper.
The Big Dipper is the brightest of the seven stars in the constellation Ursa Major and is spoon-shaped and the most recognizable.
So, when a person is in the Northern Hemisphere, as long as he finds the Big Dipper, he can find the North Star.
The position of the North Star is fixed at the North Pole of the sky for a long time, so it is very useful for identifying the direction.
Ye Xiuwen thought about it, and still asked, "Why?" ”
"Because there, there's a virus going on. It's so dangerous that I've blocked the border. "Zittleman" shook his head and said, obviously this viral disease is not that simple.
Ye Xiuwen thought about it, there are indeed many ancient viruses in Africa, and once these viruses break out, they will be catastrophic.
For example, Ebola.
The Ebola virus is a very scary virus, which can affect the human body and multi-organ failure.
It mainly affects the liver, spleen, and kidneys. The incubation period is 3~18 days, the main clinical manifestations are sudden onset, fever, severe headache, muscle and joint soreness, sometimes abdominal pain, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, diarrhea mucus or bloody stool can occur in 2~3 days, diarrhea can last for several days.
The course of the disease enters the extreme phase in 4~5 days, the fever continues, and changes in consciousness appear, such as delirium and drowsiness. Bleeding is common in this period, including hematemesis, melena, bleeding at the injection site, nosebleeds, hemoptysis, etc., and pregnant women have miscarriage and postpartum hemorrhage. The course of the disease is 6~7 days, a morbilliform maculopapular rash can appear on the trunk and spread to all parts of the body, and after a few days, desquamation is more common in the shoulders, palms and soles.
Severe patients often die on the 8~9th day of the course of the disease due to hemorrhage, liver and kidney failure or serious complications.
In non-severe patients, gradually recover 2 weeks after the onset of the disease, most patients have asymmetric arthralgia, which can be migratory, mainly involving large joints, and some patients have myalgia, fatigue, purulent mumps, hearing loss or tinnitus, ocular conjunctivitis, monocular blindness, uveitis and other delayed lesions.
In addition, it can also cause inflammation and atrophy due to the persistence of the virus. Complications in the acute phase include myocarditis and pneumonia.
There was an outbreak of such a virus in Africa, and that catastrophe killed a lot of people.
But now, decades later, there has been no similar virus.
Ye Xiuwen was a little strange, what kind of virus would make 'Zittelman' smell change.
"What kind of virus is it? With the current level of medical care, I am afraid that this is not a difficult task. Even if African countries do not have the capacity to appeal to the international community, Africa will be supported. Ye Xiuwen said earnestly.
Because this is no longer an era of war, the international community is still only controlled by some developed countries.
Therefore, as long as Sibina and other African countries apply to the United Nations, the United Nations and the Red Cross will immediately respond.
At this time, 'Zittleman' shook his head and said: "The researchers of the Red Cross and the United Nations have intervened in this matter, but the effect is not very obvious. ”
"What virus?" Ye Xiuwen asked again.
"They said, it's CWD, or whatever, it's not sure yet, it's just that the area is locked down. No one is allowed to enter. Zittleman sighed.
Because now is the time for Sibi to be in ruins, and he wants to spread his fists and kicks and make a big deal.
But I don't want to, there is such a thing. Virus outbreak, closed borders. This is undoubtedly a severance of ties with neighbouring countries.
Ye Xiuwen took his mobile phone and sent a text message to the bug, asking him to check what CWD is.
"I'm going to the boss? What are you doing? The bug replied. Because Ye Xiuwen had already said that it was inconvenient to answer the phone now, he also sent a message back.
"Don't be verbose, hurry up and look it up!"
Ye Xiuwen sent the message again.
The insect replied in seconds and transferred the relevant information he found to Ye Xiuwen: the disease is called chronic wasting disease (CWD), which is also called "zombie deer disease". CWD is caused by the Nguyen virus and is an abnormal form of normal protein that can induce abnormalities in the body's own proteins, and when enough protein is infected, the brain begins to become "hollow", which in turn triggers other physiological and behavioral abnormalities.
The virus erodes the brain, spinal cord and muscles of deer, causing symptoms such as sudden weight loss, unresponsiveness, excessive drooling and teeth grinding, loss of coordination, and greater aggression before death. In addition, the behavior patterns of animals affected by the disease will also change, and they will no longer be close to other animals, and symptoms such as listlessness, drooping head, and tremors will appear.
According to research, deer-to-deer transmission of the virus can be transmitted from mother to fetus, or it can be transmitted directly through physical contact.
CWD is transmitted through the saliva and defecation of deer, and if a sick deer urinates or drools in the soil, healthy deer can become infected after licking, feeding, or inhaling the infected soil in the same area. It can take several years from being infected to actually showing the symptoms.
The study also found that soils with more than 18% clay content were associated with a sharp decline in disease cases, and that areas with higher clay content had a relative decline in CWD cases.
Health Canada previously said: "Disease surveillance on a large scale in Canada does not give direct evidence that chronic wasting disease infects humans, but the potential danger of its transmission to humans cannot be ruled out." Scientists believe that it is precisely because of the existence of "interspecific barriers" that the disease does not spread between deer and humans.
However, new research has found that macaques can develop the disease after eating infected venison. This is worrying.
And seeing this, Ye Xiuwen also remembered that this was reported in the news many years ago.
But that time, it seems that it did not cause, a large-scale infection, and the virus was controlled.
"Zombie virus?"
Ye Xiuwen smiled, took his mobile phone and showed it to 'Zitelman': "This is a virus that appeared a long time ago, you don't have to worry. ”
"Oh, I see, it doesn't seem to be a few days before the border will be back to normal.
Thank you, Mr. Black Wolf! Once again, you have saved Sibina! "Zittleman said happily.
"Huh! Where! ”
Ye Xiuwen said with a smile, greeting 'Zittman', but he didn't want to be at this moment, but the surroundings of the car were laughing, which was incomprehensible! ......
