AIDS: What is a "ghost field"?

Leptospira reverts to AIDS: The oni field is the paddy field polluted by me, and humans will be infected and sick by me as long as they come into contact with the oni field.

AIDS Replies Leptospira: The ghost in the ghost field, it's so scary!

Leptospira reverts to AIDS: Hehe, once I am infected, I will have a fever and pain all over my body, and I will vomit blood and die!

Plague: Leptospira is powerful! He's from the bacterial world, and I'm kind of related.

Malaria: Leptospira is an organism between bacteria and protozoa, and Leptospira is also a relative of Plasmodium and Plasmodium.

AIDS replied to Leptospira: Wow, you're still crossing the border.

Leptospira responds to AIDS: Well, I'm a creature between the two worlds, with a special appearance and a special personality.

AIDS replies to Leptospira: Seeking an autobiography!

Leptospira: Here's my autobiography, short and concise!

I, Leptospira, a member of the spirochetal family.

I am a single-celled organism with a slender, soft, curved, spiral-coiled body.

Because my body is often bent into a hook at one or both ends, I am called leptospira.

I'm the largest of the bacteria, measuring 6 to 20 microns in length, which is a little longer than the average human red blood cell diameter of 7 microns.

I'm also a big family.

At present, there are 21 serogroups and more than 190 serotypes on the planet.

I like to live with many animals, dogs, rats, pigs, and many others.

Humans are just my casual hosts.

I am widely distributed on the planet, on five continents.

The animals I infected are called carriers, and their urine or carcasses can contaminate paddy fields, rivers, lakes or other surface waters, as well as muddy soil and moist grasslands.

Depending on how I spread, my prevalence is summarized by humans in three forms: paddy, rain, and flood.

Therefore, I am sometimes called "threshing yellow" and "rice blast" by humans, and the paddy fields where I exist are called "onida".

Once the conditions are right, humans can easily be invaded by me when they come into contact with the "Oni Field".

When humans were infected by me, it was like they had a bad cold at first.

Fever, chills, headache, fatigue, conjunctival hyperemia, generalized muscle pain......

After a few days, jaundice or bleeding of the mucous skin membranes, diffuse bleeding in the lungs, kidney dysfunction, headache, coughing up blood, hematemesis, and even death.

Some people were able to avoid my first round of attacks, but after half a year, some people also developed posterior symptoms: fever, post-ocular symptoms, allergic meningitis, and these posterior symptoms can also be fatal.

I have a long history of fighting humanity.

In the course of the struggle, humanity looks for multiple ways to deal with me.

Antibiotics, vaccines, environmental treatment......

Under a variety of means, my popular trend in the world has been curbed.

However, with the abundance of rice paddies, constant rains, frequent floods, and the presence of susceptible animals such as field mice, domestic pigs, and domestic dogs, I could return to the world at any time.

AIDS: Wow, Leptospira is so powerful? It feels like a schistosome, which can be transmitted through water.

Leptospira replies to AIDS: It's just that the transmission mode is a little similar, but I'm not like Schistosome, which belongs to the phylum Platyzoa, and I belong to the bacterial kingdom, not the same kingdom.

AIDS responds to Leptospira: For our virus, Schistosoma is a big bug, and you're a little bug, almost.

Leptospira replies to AIDS: Schistosoma is a multicellular animal, and I am a single-celled bacterium, which is very different.
