The next day.

Su Yang came to the hospital early in the morning.

As soon as he entered the department, Lin Feng stopped him.

"Xiao Su, come to the office."

Lin Feng said solemnly.

"good."

Su Yang nodded.

When he arrived at Lin Feng's office, Su Yang found that the dean was also inside, and his face was not very good, looking at him.

"The Dean."

Su Yang said hello.

"Um."

The dean nodded.

When Su Yang sat down, Lin Feng said solemnly, "Xiao Su, what is the specific situation now?"

He and Yard only knew that the situation was serious, and the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention) research found that they also notified them.

But this is not as much as Su Yang, who has witnessed the scene.

"Yes, the CDC only notified that the pathogen was found, but did not give us more detailed information, saying that it has yet to be verified."

The dean also said worriedly.

Hearing what the dean and Lin Feng said, Su Yang understood that the CDC must have kept strict confidentiality.

Right now, if the news is spread on a large scale, it is likely to cause panic.

"It has been preliminarily determined that the pathogen is a parasite, and there is no record in the current biobank. It should have been left over from ancient times."

Su Yang said slowly.

When he left, Ren Quan did not say that Su Yang would not be allowed to tell others about the iron worm, which meant that Ren Quan had acquiesced that Su Yang could tell some people on a small scale.

Lin Feng and the dean are the pillars of the hospital, so it is okay to disclose some information to them.

"In ancient times? Could it be that it was leaked from the deep pit dug in the previous Metro Line 5 project?"

Lin Feng asked with some confusion.

"The preliminary estimate should be."

Su Yang nodded, this is a very reasonable estimate.

"What is the code name of this parasite?"

The dean asked again.

"The CDC hasn't named it yet, but I took one, called A. elegans."

Su Yang said slowly.

"Why is it called? Does it have anything to do with iron and nematodes?"

Lin Feng asked immediately.

"Yes, this parasite is 1-2mm in size and looks like a nematode, and it contains a lot of iron in its body."

Su Yang explained in an orderly manner.

"This iron worm, how does it spread?"

The dean asked one of the most critical questions. The method of transmission is the most critical, which is related to the next step of prevention and control.

"At present, the only possible mode of transmission is physical contact. It should be that the worms pass through the skin or mucous membranes and can be parasitic from one organism to another."

This is the information that Su Yang found in the gene fusion species catalog, but the CDC's preliminary research results are also like this.

"If this is the case, then prevention and control will be much less difficult."

Lin Feng said thoughtfully, he felt a little more relaxed.

"Actually, I am not worried about the country. After all, it is just an accident, and it is estimated that it will be dealt with soon."

Su Yang said slowly.

"How do you say? In addition to the domestic, is there other places where this iron worm has been found?"

Lin Feng asked with a look of confusion, he didn't get any news.

"I'm just guessing. After all, the CDC is so rigorously prepared. If there are only dozens of patients in China, there is no need to be so nervous."

Su Yang thought for a while and said.

"If this kind of iron worm infection also broke out in other regions besides the country, the CDC's tension is justified. No country can have an organization like ours and the ability to respond to public health emergencies."

The dean said thoughtfully.

"Yes, this kind of parasite targets the nervous system of the human body. If a large-scale outbreak occurs and a large number of people with violent attacks tend to gather together, the consequences are unimaginable."

Lin Feng said solemnly.

"The hospital can make an emergency plan, but I don't think there will be a large-scale outbreak in the country."

Su Yang is still very confident in domestic organization and prevention and control capabilities.

"If you say that, I'm relieved."

The dean also breathed a sigh of relief. Su Yang was the one who went directly to the research center to find this ancient parasite. He said so, so the credibility is still extremely high.

"With regard to patients who have been infected by parasites, are there any effective treatments now available?"

Lin Feng asked again.

"This may be a long-term job. The body structure of this parasite is between living things and metals. With the current biological sciences, facing such peculiar creatures, it is still a blind spot."

In the illustrated book, Su Yang found the record of iron worm.

This is a special creature between metal and living creatures. Under normal circumstances, it only lives underground and is full of mineral deposits.

"The eventful autumn."

The dean sighed and said.

As a doctor, I am most afraid of encountering such an explosive public health event.

Every time such an event breaks out, it is like a war, and the doctor is the soldier at the forefront of the war.

Coming out of Lin Feng's office, Su Yang's heart was also a little heavy.

Somewhere abroad, there must have been a large-scale outbreak, but this situation is hidden.

After being parasitized by iron nematode, the manifestation of the host's disease is mania and a strong tendency to attack and violence, so it is easy to be ignored.

Especially in those countries where the society is in chaos or is experiencing wars, it is easier to be ignored.

Next, Su Yang is going to the clinic to start a day's work.

As soon as he entered the consultation room, Su Yang discovered that Lu Chenxi and Rosa were already waiting for him in the consultation room.

"Shen Dashen, I heard that the pathogen has been discovered, hasn't it?"

Seeing Su Yang walking in, Lu Chenxi asked curiously.

"Yes, I found it. It is a parasite that hasn't been discovered before. It is parasitic in the human brain and affects the nervous system."

Su Yang said briefly.

"If it's just a parasite, then the spread should be controllable, and prevention and control should not be difficult."

Rosa asked from the side.

"If it is a conscious prevention and control, then it is really not very difficult, but if there is no such prevention and control awareness, if it is allowed to spread, then the consequences will be extremely serious."

Su Yang said slowly.

"Shen Dashen, do you mean that there are other places in this world where this kind of infection has also broken out?"

Lu Chenxi heard Su Yang's overtones.

"Maybe, there is no definite source of the information yet, and you should not discuss this matter outside."

Su Yang explained to the two.

"Su Dashen, I have watched a movie called Ironworm Invasion before. Wouldn't it be the same as it was in the movie?"

Lu Chenxi asked curiously.

"I'm sure that the domestic control will be very good, but there are some places abroad, then I'm not sure."

Su Yang said noncommittal.
