"Judging from the genetic analysis map of the influenza virus, it is true!"

Gu Yanan's words interrupted Wang Xiaoxiao and Lu Li's discussion.

"What now? Now is the season of migratory birds, a steady stream of migratory birds from Province Z, we can't cut off the migratory path of migratory birds, right? Wang Xiaoxiao was very worried.

"Last month, there was an outbreak of human infection with H7N9 avian influenza in Province Z, and this month we have another epidemic in Lianhai City, so it seems that it has a lot to do with the migration of migratory birds." Lu Li said with a rather solemn expression.

Lu Li and Wang Xiaoxiao looked at Gu Yanan at the same time.

Gu Yanan's slightly frowning brows suddenly relaxed, "It's good to add one more influenza surveillance in wild birds to detect the flow of viruses from animals to humans in time." ”

Wang Xiaoxiao also breathed a sigh of relief, "That's right, it's useless to be nervous and worried, strengthening monitoring is the right thing." ”

"Sister Yanan just said 'discovering the flow of viruses from animals to humans', and this sentence reminds me of a cool profession." Lu Li said suddenly.

"Cool profession? What profession? Wang Xiaoxiao asked.

"Virus Catcher."

Wang Xiaoxiao was stunned for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Isn't the 'virus catcher' an epidemiologist?" ”

Lu Li shook his head, "It's different, the virus catcher I'm talking about is more like explorers in the 19th century, they monitored the transmission and flow of various viruses from animals to human society in the tropical and subtropical jungles, you know, HIV first entered human society from the jungle." ”

"It seems to make sense for you to say that, although we are not in the tropical jungle, we have also been to all corners of Lianhai City, the primeval forests of Qingcheng Mountain, and we also have to run a monitoring network for various diseases, which is a lot of work." Although Wang Xiaoxiao thinks that the "virus catcher" profession in Lu Li's mouth is very cool, her work is also very important.

Gu Yanan: "Broadly speaking, we are all virus catchers, doing epidemiologists. ”

Lu Li: "But I'm still very envious of those virus catchers who walk through the tropical jungle, they are more like detectives, whenever there is a disease, they come out to find out the truth." ”

Gu Yanan: "Epidemiology is a detective science, when a disease occurs, we find out the truth, the disease does not occur, we track and monitor, and give early warning in time." ”

Wang smiled: "What we do is the same as what the 'virus catcher' does." ”

Lu Li: "There is a non-governmental organization called 'Global Virus', and the purpose of that organization is to set up sentinel points in the places where humans and animals have the closest contact with each other, monitor the movement of the virus, and look for pathogens that may evolve more virulent and infectious. ”

Gu Yanan: "The 'Global Virus' organization, as I know, is a non-governmental organization specializing in virus disease surveillance and early warning, and their role is just in line with the government's disease control department, which is a supplement to the government department. ”

As soon as they heard that Gu Yanan had seen the real person of the "virus catcher", Lu Li and Wang Xiaoxiao immediately came up.

Lu Li: "Sister Yanan, have you seen them?" Where is it? Is it in the tropical jungle? ”

Gu Yanan's thoughts drifted to a few years ago, when he went abroad with his mentor and several seniors to collect wildlife specimens in the African rainforest, and encountered a heavy rainstorm and became separated from his mentor and classmates.

Tropical rainforests, deep and densely wooded, are full of dangers.

Gu Yanan got lost in the rainforest for two days and one night, and finally fainted in the jungle.

Just when he thought he would be trapped in this primeval tropical jungle near the equator, Gu Yanan, who was unconscious, met two people.

One of them is a local guide, the other is an epidemiologist of the "global virus".

By the time Gu Yanan regained consciousness, he was already in a small village outside the rainforest.

The local guide told Gu Yanan in broken English that they had found her in the rainforest and that it was Dr. Brown. Wilson carried her back, but the epidemiologist had left for something else.

Later, Gu Yanan contacted her mentor and classmates, and when she left the small tropical village, Gu Yanan finally did not see the person who carried her back in the jungle.

Seeing Gu Yanan's distraction, Wang Xiaoxiao gently patted Gu Yanan's shoulder, "Sister Yanan? ”

Gu Yanan came back to his senses, and then answered Lu Li's question, "It was in the tropical jungle, but I was injured at the time and was in a coma, and I didn't remember it if I saw it. ”

Lu Li: "It's a pity that I didn't see what the 'virus catcher' looks like." ”

Wang smiled: "It's so thrilling! It must be very dangerous to be injured in the tropical jungle, but fortunately, I met that 'virus catcher', and I can carry Sister Yanan back, it should be a man, right? ”

Lu Li: "He is also Sister Yanan's life-saving benefactor, didn't Sister Yanan look for him after that?" ”

Gu Yanan: "I inquired, but there was no news, and later at an international academic conference on virology, I met another epidemiologist from the 'Global Virus' organization, who said that Dr. Wilson abruptly resigned from the organization, his whereabouts are unknown, and after all these years, Dr. Wilson has not been heard from again. Wilson's message. ”

Wang smiled: "Dr. Wilson？ The name is familiar...... Isn't it the one who has a lot of articles in top virology journals? Wilson？ ”

Gu Yanan: "That's him." ”

Lu Li sighed: "This Dr. Wilson, I've also heard, he is a legend, legend has it that he gave up his status as a tenured professor at a world-class university to shuttle through the world's major tropical rainforests, monitoring the transmission and flow of various viruses from animals to human society, the 'virus catcher' is famous because of people like him, and what is more mysterious is that he rarely has photos circulated, so his identity and appearance are a mystery. ”

"That time in the rainforest, I had a vague impression that he seemed to have an Asian face."

Wang smiled: "Asian? How can there be a foreigner name? ”

Lu Li: "I heard that Dr. Wilson has always lived abroad, and it's no surprise that he has a foreign name. ”

Lu Lizheng sighed with emotion, and suddenly there was a sound outside the door of the emergency office.

The people in the office looked up at the same time.

A familiar figure stood in the doorway.

Nan Hanfei smiled slightly awkwardly, and seemed to have been standing at the door for a long time.

Gu Yanan stood up from behind his desk, "Captain Nan, why are you here?" Haven't you been busy with the cattle theft case in Lijia Village near Crescent Lake recently? ”

Nan Hanfei pushed open the door and entered the office, "The case is over, let's ask my girlfriend for dinner." ”

Nan Hanfei said it easily, and Gu Yanan's face turned red.

Wang Xiaoxiao glanced at the wall clock hanging on the wall of the office, "It's almost twelve o'clock at noon, and when it's time to get off work, Lu Li and I will go to the central canteen to solve lunch, and in the afternoon, we will help Zhou Lao and Gao Fei deal with the wild birds and live poultry trading market in the Crescent Lake Scenic Area. ”

Wang Xiaoxiao pulled Lu Li and left, and only Gu Yanan and Nan Hanfei were left in the emergency office.

Gu Yanan: "Where do you want to eat?" In the afternoon, I will also write a summary of the stages of the human infection with H7N9 avian influenza, and I can't go too far. ”

Nan Hanfei: "It's not far, you can drive it in ten minutes, and you will definitely like the place I chose this time." ”
