    After quickly collecting some samples, Li Anyuan also quickly took people out of this plague city. Almost everyone here was infected with smallpox. In addition, they were so ignorant that they would rather believe in ghosts and gods than what Ming Dynasty provided.  Without the prevention and control methods, no one in this city can escape death.

    "Professor Li, from the analysis of samples collected from various places, all smallpox viruses are no different from the smallpox viruses that appeared in our Ming Dynasty. There is no difference."

    Back in Silver Harbor, Li Anyuan¡¯s team never stopped, running around, constantly collecting samples, and analyzing the epidemic situation in the entire Aztec Kingdom.

    "Judging from the current situation, the epidemic in the Aztec Kingdom has reached the edge of getting out of control. It may completely break out at any time. By then, it will not only destroy the entire Aztec Kingdom, but also our Ming Dynasty."  These colonial towns would also be implicated.¡±

    ¡°We must find a way to solve this problem as soon as possible.¡±

    After listening to the report of his subordinates, Li Anyuan frowned.

    The situation was even worse than what he saw. The smallpox virus had spread on a large scale. The key was that these people in the Aztec Kingdom were very superstitious and did not strictly follow the requirements of the Ming Dynasty. As a result, smallpox  The spread of the virus is beyond imagination.

    ¡°It¡¯s definitely not possible to rely on isolation. Now we can only try the cowpox prevention method mentioned by Mr. Liu.¡±

    Although the smallpox virus is terrible, has a high mortality rate, and is very transmissible, a lot of experience has been accumulated in the long-term fight against the smallpox virus since ancient times.

    During the Song Dynasty, there was a medical book "The Conclusion of Acne" that recorded relevant things. It mentioned that there were people in Sichuan who were good at vaccination, and people after vaccination would never get smallpox again.

    From here we can know that there has been a way to deal with smallpox in the past, and that is to achieve the prevention effect through variola vaccination.

    However, the method of variolation will cause serious adverse reactions, and even a certain proportion of fatalities, and is far less safe than the cowpox vaccination method that became popular in later generations.

    Li Anyuan came to Huanghuangzhou this time. On the one hand, he naturally wanted to find a way to control the spread of the smallpox virus in Huanghuangzhou and prevent the smallpox virus from spreading to the Ming Dynasty.

    You must know that the population in the Ming Dynasty, especially in the Beijing-Tianjin area, is too dense. Once people carrying the smallpox virus flow into the Beijing-Tianjin area, the consequences will be unimaginable.

    Therefore, the source must be blocked to prevent the smallpox virus from being spread to the Ming Dynasty.

    Of course, the most important thing is to find ways to prevent and treat the smallpox virus. Always being on guard is definitely not the answer.

    The population in the Beijing-Tianjin area is very large and dense, and with the development of shipping and highways, not only the exchanges between Ming Dynasty have become closer and more frequent, but the exchanges between Ming Dynasty and other parts of the world will also become more frequent.  are more intensive and frequent.

    This means that many endemic diseases may be transmitted to the Ming Dynasty, and smallpox is just one of them. Without strong medical technology and medical teams, it is very likely that the history of Europeans will repeat when facing terrible diseases.  .

    The most effective way to deal with smallpox is prevention. If everyone is vaccinated, there will naturally be nothing to fear.

    Li Anyuan quickly found Wu Lin, the magistrate of Baiyingang, and put forward his opinions and requirements to him.

    "Professor Li, please don't worry, I will immediately contact Montezuma II of the Aztec Kingdom and ask him to get some people to come over for experiments first."

    After listening to Li Anyuan's words, Wu Lin realized the seriousness of this matter and clearly understood why the court sent Li Anyuan here.

    This is not just to help the Aztec Kingdom, but also to research ways to prevent smallpox for the Ming Dynasty.

    "Good work!"

    Li Anyuan quickly expressed his thanks, and then made some other requests, including a separate isolated area, items needed for treatment, and a certain amount of manpower.

    Wu Lin acted very quickly. In just a few days, he got more than a hundred people from the Aztec Kingdom. It was very easy and simple.

    Tian Erniu conquered the Aztec Kingdom with force and religion, convincing them that the Ming Dynasty and they were all the people of the Sun God, but they made mistakes and were exiled here, and now the God of Plague has descended.  to punish them.

    For this reason, the Aztec Kingdom has even announced that it will pay double the tribute this year.If there is no way, then your name will be written into history.

    He will be the first person in history to develop a truly effective treatment against smallpox virus.

    Smallpox, this is an extremely terrible disease, a disease that makes people ashamed.

    In Daming, there are reported cases every year, and at least thousands of people die from smallpox almost every year. This is because Daming has figured out a relatively mature and reliable response method.

    In Europe, due to the lack of effective countermeasures, smallpox is just like the Black Death in the Middle Ages. It has claimed an unknown number of lives. It is too transmissible and has a very high mortality rate.

    ¡°This is a disease that makes people uncomfortable, but now I am about to master the method of restraining it.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
