Chapter 183 Yala Virus
By the time we arrived at the Central Sea, the sky had completely darkened. The city outside was brightly lit and neon lights flashed, especially the outer curtain walls of those skyscrapers. Looking down from the viaduct, it was full of brilliance and colorful, and it was very beautiful.
Xue Linlin's driving skills were pretty good. She penetrated left and right in the dense traffic, and quickly got off the viaduct.
Then he followed Navigation all the way to the entrance of an old-fashioned community in the city center.
It is now the peak hours of get off work, and the roads outside the community are full of traffic and people are coming and going.
Sun Chengbi stood at the gate and watched. When he saw Zhou Wen and his other cars coming, he waved his hands hard, "Here."
After getting off the bus in the community, Sun Chengbi stepped forward and pulled Zhou Wen and said gratefully: "Thank you so much for Teacher Zhou. I've been here so late."
Zhou Wen smiled and said, "You're welcome~ Let's go, take me over and take a look."
"Come with me..." Sun Chengbi took Zhou Wen to a family building behind him.
As soon as I entered the room, I smelled a strong smell of medicine.
"Angelica, peony, Pinellia ternata, ginseng, licorice, cinnamon twig..." Zhou Wen's mind automatically identified the medicines contained in the fragrance of these medicines.
When I came to the bedroom, I saw an old woman with a haggard and skinny look lying on the bed. She closed her eyes and could see her faint breathing on her chest, she would have thought she was a dead person at first glance.
There was also a young man in his twenties in front of the bed, holding a bowl of lean eggs and meat porridge in his hand. It seemed that he had no taste.
"Mom, please eat some." The young man scooped a small spoon of lean meat porridge and handed it to the woman on the bed.
The woman remained motionless.
Sun Chengbi stepped forward and patted the young man on the shoulder, "Come on, let me."
After the young man stood up, Sun Chengbi introduced his sister's condition to Zhou Wen in detail.
"Since early October last year, a low fever with unknown symptoms suddenly appeared, which lasted intermittently for a month. After that, the appetite was greatly reduced, and the weight had gone from more than 120 kilograms before, and it still lost less than 70 kilograms..."
Just when God Sun Chengbi introduced his sister's condition, Zhou Wen had already opened the eyes of true vision when he saw the woman.
[Name: Sun Lamei. Gender: Female. Age: 57. Occupation: Full-time housewife. Physical status: Yara virus (second stage), gastrospheric sagging, hypertension, mental status: dying.]
"Yala virus?" Zhou Wen was stunned for a moment, and a look of surprise appeared in his eyes.
Scientists discovered a mysterious virus in the artificial lake of Pampaha near the Brazilian "Belo Horizonte" in December last year.
The full name of the virus is yaravirus brasiliensis, taken from the water god "Yara" in Brazilian mythology.
It is known by scientists as a new amoeba virus with a "confusing origin and phylogenetic origin."
The virus is composed of 80-nanometer-sized particles and has a very unique genome.
Scientists believe it may be the first solitary example of an unknown amoeba population, or some kind of reduced megavirus.
It is precisely because of this that the cause of Sun Lamei cannot be found in large hospitals in China.
By searching the virus gene database and literature, the researchers found that among the 8,500 viral metagenomes, only 6 are related to the Yara virus, and the other 90% of the genes have never been described and cannot be identified at all, forming the so-called "orphan gene".
However, Zhou Wen was curious about how Sun Lamei was infected with the "Yara virus"?
This is very important.
So far, no Amira virus group has been found in Asia. Sun Lamei is the first case, so it is necessary to understand the source of its infection.
According to current research, the mortality rate of Yara virus is not high, and the WHO has developed new drugs, but I don’t know how effective the drugs are. (Many special drugs are used very little and companies do not produce them. The WHO will purchase part of them from the laboratory for free for humanitarian rescue)
However, this virus has a certain transmission rate, and it will destroy the human immune system. If treatment is not promptly done, it will leave serious sequelae even after cure.
Because Sun Lamei was extremely depressed and was even a little confused, Zhou Wen did not ask him.
Zhou Wen then changed to the True Eye Mode and turned into the Lens Mode.
His sharp eyes passed through Sun Lamei's facial skin and penetrated into her body.
Soon, a large number of spinned conical Yara viruses were found in Sun Lamei's bone marrow, spleen, lymph nodes, tonsils, small intestine, and the appendix. They were dense and very cunning.
After retracting his gaze, Zhou Wen sat down, then pretended to look at Sun Lamei's situation, and called her son and daughter-in-law over to find out.
"Can you tell me, did your mother come into contact with anything special during that period last October?"
Sun Lamei's son Zhao Kai said: "There is something special... this shouldn't be there. My mother's daily life circle is very small, and she is a vegetable market, a park, a home, three points and one line every day, and she won't go to other places."
Zhou Wen hesitated for a while and said, "Uh... that, I'll ask specifically, has your mother ever been exposed to items from Brazil?"
"Brazil? Nothing is this..."
Before Zhao Kai finished speaking, his wife said weakly: "That... I bought a Brazilian colored tortoise on the salted fish last year, which is an adult... The seller said it was brought back specifically from Brazil. I asked my mother-in-law to help me raise it for a while."
"If nothing unexpected happens, this should be the thing~" Zhou Wen said in his heart, "Where is it, let me see?"
"It's in my house! I...I'll get it now."
When Zhao Kai's wife hurried to pick up the turtle, Sun Chengbi asked, "Teacher Zhou, how about it? Can you tell me what disease?"
Zhou Wen: "I can't confirm it for the time being, I have to look at the turtle to know."
Half an hour later, Zhou Wen saw the Brazilian turtle.
Judging from the characteristics of the colored tortoise, Zhou Wen judged that this Brazilian turtle was indeed a real Brazilian turtle, not a locally cultivated.
Zhou Wen opened the True Vision Eye and looked. Sure enough, the Yara virus was found in many places in the Brazilian turtle's body.
But strangely, the Yara virus did not damage the immune system of the Brazilian turtle, but lived in peace.
"It should be like bats. Some viruses do not cause any damage in bats, but when they come into humans, they will cause fatal damage."
He took out a pair of biological gloves from the hand-held sterile box he brought to his hands and put them on, then reached out to pick up the adult-sized slapped Brazilian turtle from the plastic box.
After putting it on the ground, he stepped on the turtle shell with his feet, and the head of the Brazilian turtle huddled inside emerged.
After washing up, Zhou Wen lay on the bed, called out the system and submitted the task first.
