Animal experiments: Leeches help to study animal diseases in tropical rain forests

  Things within reach may seem "grassroots", but its blood-eating properties and saliva-relieving saliva are used as effective tools in the medical industry around the world. In addition, new research shows that their sticky straws can also provide another service for humans: to help scientists track the health of rare animals living in tropical rainforests.

  After sucking the blood of a specific animal, this part of the blood will be stored in it for several months. Researchers have used Reach's ability to discover emerging mammals, such as south-central antelopes. Deer very rare in the Vietnamese jungle.

  But recently, researchers have decided to test its coverage to see if information about each "victim"'s blood and disease is stored.

  Of course, science makes no sense. The researchers poured human blood into the intestines of pigs. There are four different viruses in the blood, including a specific herpes virus. Then, the researchers inhaled the air bubbles into the medical area, and then dissected the area after 50 days and amplified the genetic material in the body. The research team was able to detect three of the four viruses. Recently, related papers were published in the journal "European Wildlife Research". according to

  Researchers claim that as long as genetic material is stored for medical purposes, wild animals can store "victims" health information within a few weeks after sucking blood. The research team said that this study can provide people with an easier way to track diseased wild animals that have difficulty entering their habitat.

  After all, it is not difficult to find the difficulty everywhere. Some people are also happy to taste them, especially for brave researchers.
