章節 49: CH. 49: My Time Is Precious

"Rickettsia. Have you not heard of it yet? These are microorganisms that resemble bacteria but differ in that they are intracellular parasites that reproduce inside cells…. Hmmmm…"

Yukina thought of the examples about this, since Heather said that she was studying biological field, she should have encountered this in the past.

"Typhus and Q Fever are some examples of diseases that is caused by this biological agent."

Typhus is a disease you can get from infected mites, fleas and lice. Or could be passed by infected animals. While Q Fever is caused by a bacteria known as Coxiella burnetti, that naturally infects animals such as goats, sheep and cattle. It is a mild disease with flu like symptoms.

"How much knowledge do you have about it?"

Heather's eyes were twinkling making Yukina feel that she was not asking because she doesn't know about it but because she knew of it.
