198-Black Light Virus

Three hours later, when the four vehicles returned to the Life Science City, the entrance and exit of the city had already been set up.

A steel gate stands in the middle of the road, and several security guards from the black security service department are wearing protective clothing and standing by the roadside with guns in hand.

"Oh Fak... I said guys, did you play "Resident Evil"?"

As several vehicles stopped at the checkpoint, one of the security guards rushed forward to the humanity in the jeep, "Is it too exaggerated?"

Unfortunately, the colleagues in the jeep ignored him.

"We did go to the epidemic area."

Herbert got out of the car to resolve the other party's embarrassment. He took out a document and handed it to the other party. At the same time, he looked back at the ambulance he was in.

Only then did he understand why the other party would say such a thing.

I saw that the white ambulance was covered with dense bloody handprints. Just seeing these handprints, Herbert could feel how desperate the villagers should be at that time.

"Hey……"

Secretly sighed. At this time, the security also checked the documents and returned it to Herbert after confirming that they were correct.

"Ok."

Herb nodded, and then everyone got out of the car and pushed the isolation cabin into the negative pressure tent to start disinfection.

Only after these people are thoroughly disinfected will they be allowed to enter the Life Science City.

Then came a complicated process, until two or three hours later, four infected people were finally sent to the research center.

And their blood samples were sent to a Level 4 biosafety laboratory that has never been officially operated since its establishment.

The fourth-level biosafety laboratory is the so-called international BSL-4 laboratory. It is a laboratory dedicated to studying the world’s most dangerous viruses. This level of laboratory is extremely rare in the entire Earth Federation. Only sixty-eight seats are under investigation.

And Chen Chen is the only private BSL-4 laboratory in the world.

In the laboratory at this time, several top microbiologists, including Bernhard and Evans, were all called here. These people were wearing closed isolation suits, and the entire experiment was completed on a negative pressure ultra-clean bench.

"The blood grinding fluid of the infected person has been completed, what about the human kidney cell culture dish?"

"it's here."

"Okay, I have dripped the grinding fluid, let's see what kind of virus this is."

In the BSL-4 laboratory, the atmosphere of the crowd was relatively relaxed. At this time, Bernhard asked his assistants to test blood samples, and he and Evans and others performed another treatment.

Half an hour later, as everyone put the human kidney cell culture dish into an electron microscope for observation, the true face of the virus was finally revealed on the screen.

But looking at it, many people can't help but take a breath.

I saw on the screen, human kidney cells were completely destroyed under the attack of this virus, the cell membrane was broken, the organelles were in shape, and on the broken cell remains, there were countless thread-like things densely covered...

"It really is a filovirus."

Seeing this scene, Evans sighed in a low voice, "It is basically certain. So far, the Earth Federation has only found two filoviruses, and these two viruses are pathogens with the highest biosafety level."

"The specific result still depends on the assistant."

Bernhard waved his hand and turned to the busy people on the other side, "Joseph, what is the result of the serum test on your side?"

"The test results have come out."

An assistant quickly walked over and handed the experimental report to Bernhard's hands. "Professor, the virus in this outbreak has a cross-antibody reaction with the Zaire virus, and the antibody-antigen reaction was positive."

"impossible!"

Hearing this, Evanston on the side said, "This is definitely not a Zaire!"

"If it is the Zaire-type Ebola virus, it would be easier to handle."

Bernhard was also taken aback, and then he showed a contemplative expression, "Although the fatality rate of the Zaire Ebola virus reached 90%, the infectiousness is only transmitted through body fluids, which can be easily blocked. ."

"So this virus is definitely not Zaire, but a new subspecies virus that is very similar to Zaire Ebola."

Evans nodded, "It's the same as the Reston Ebola."

When everyone heard this, they all showed a sense of sorrow.

After all, among the known Ebola virus types, the infectivity and symptoms of each subspecies are different. Among them, the fatality rate of Zaire type is 90%, and that of Sudan type is 50%. Both are spread through body fluids and are not highly infectious.

The most contagious is a subspecies called Reston type.

This is an Ebola virus that can be spread through the air. It is almost identical to the Zaire virus. Fortunately, this virus can only kill monkeys, but it is not pathogenic to humans.

It's just that when the Reston type was first discovered, many people were worried. If one day, the Reston type Ebola mutated and started to have an effect on humans, what would happen?

No one dared to imagine, because at that time, it would be a catastrophe.

And now, all this seems to have happened...

"Professor, we have done a complete glycoprotein gene sequence analysis of the isolated virus and found that 98.9% of the nucleotides of this virus are identical to Reston virus."

Another assistant also walked over and handed over an experiment report.

"Very well, since this is basically certain, this is indeed a mutant form of the Reston Ebola virus."

Looking at the report in his hand, Bernhard looked more serious, "In other words, this is an Ebola virus that can spread through the air."

"You continue to crack his genetic map, and I will send the first report to the Boss."

Evans said, "By the way, everyone brainstormed to name the virus and report it to the WHO. After all, as the first to discover this new virus, we have the right to name the virus."

When everyone heard the words, you look at me and I look at you, all showing hesitation.

"How about the Namibian Ebola virus?" said an assistant.

"No, it's obviously that we were the first to discover a new virus. Why should Namibia be exposed?" another assistant retorted.

"How about the Bernhard Evans type?" The third assistant made an opinion.

"How can this be? It's better to call Chen Chen-type Ebola..." Evans waved his hand quickly.

"Okay, what's so modest about it, just name it after our company."

Bernhard on the side said, "Black light virus, this name is very good, I believe the Boss will be satisfied."

"Yes."

Everyone nodded.

In this way, the name of the new virus was officially named.
