Umhume wase-Afrika ufunde ukubulala abantu futhi ubambe izilwane ngaphandle kokulandelela!
Emngceleni weKenya nase-Uganda, emithanjeni ye-Mount Elgon intaba-mlilo ingumhume obangela ukuthuthumela hhayi nje kuphela phakathi kwabantu abafundele kahle, kodwa futhi phakathi kwamadoda afundile. Ukucindezeleka okwesabekayo edwaleni akuthembisi abantu nezilwane noma yini ngaphandle kwama-virus abulalayo nokunyamalala okungaqondakali.
Umlando wesabekayo womhume weKitum waqala kanjani?
Ngo-1987, eduze kwechibi elikhulu kunazo zonke eVictoria, eVictoria, osemncane uDane ogama lakhe linguPeter Cardinal waqoqa amaminerali asezintabeni. Wachitha izinsuku eziningana eceleni komhume, nakuba engamqapheli. Lapho efika ekhaya, wazizwa egula futhi ngokushesha wabeka esibhedlela ngesifo esingavamile segciwane. Unina womfana wasebenzisa yonke imali etholakalayo ekuhunyushweni kwendodana eyodwa kusuka emtholampilo owodwa kuya kwenye, ngoba akekho odokotela abangathola imithi ephumelelayo ...
Umzimba kaPetru wawugcwele izindawo ezibomvu, abamhlophe bamaso bagcwala igazi, nesibindi senqaba ukusebenza. Ezinsukwini ezimbalwa kamuva izimpungushe ezimnyama neziluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka zafika endaweni yezinsalela, ezaqala ukuphuma. Ekugcineni, igazi lahlanjululwa kakhulu kangangokuthi isifo se-cerebral hemorrhage senzeke, okwabulala lo ososayensi osemncane.
Ebhekene nokufa kukaPetru ngokushesha, odokotela baqala ukutadisha igazi lakhe ebhokisatri. Ngisho ne-US Army Biological Weapons Research Centre yabonisa isithakazelo kuma-sampuli atholakala kumuntu oshonile. Ochwepheshe bathi leli gciwane libizwa ngegama elithi "Marburg fever" - linesilinganiso esiphezulu seengozi ngenxa yokusakaza okusheshayo nokuntuleka kokwelashwa.
Mhlawumbe isibonelo sikaPetru singabhekwa njengengqondo, uma indaba ingabe isenzeka futhi nomFulentshi uCharles Monet, ochwepheshe bezisebenzi ekhishini lokushukela eKenya. Le ndoda yehla emhumeni futhi yaba yisisulu sesifo esiphuthumayo igazi. Iziphetho zacaca: izimpilo zombili iziguli zawela kanye kuphela - emhumeni waseKitum.
Ingabe umhume wawuvula izimfihlo zawo?
Kwakukhona iqembu elilodwa labacwaningi abangesabi ukungena emhumeni, owavula i-akhawunti kubahlukumezi babo. Ithimba, eliholwa nguProfesa Eugene Johnson, lathola imfundo ecacile - yokungena emhumeni ngaphandle kwemishini ekhethekile. Izikhwama ze-Hermetic ne-air conditioning kanye nokucindezela ngokweqile kwakudingeka zivimbele amathuba okungena kwamagciwane abe yi-spacesuits.
Ukuze bangafi ngegciwane elibulalayo, ososayensi bathatha nabo "izimboni eziphilayo" - izingulube zezinyane kanye nezimbongolo. Kwaphela izinyanga ezimbili abacwaningi basebenza emhumeni, benethemba lokuthi umkhuhlane waseMarburg uzobonakala okungenani oyedwa wezilwane futhi kuzokwazi ukutadisha indlela yokuthuthukiswa kwawo. Lapho zonke izilwane zilungisiwe, kwavela ukuthi akekho noyedwa wabo othe wathinteka yigciwane. Ososayensi bakwazi ukuthola ukuthi igciwane lesandulela ngculazi lavela futhi emahlathini aseTenyan asezithulu, lapho amakhulu angama-microorganisms angaphili kahle ahlala khona.
Futhi umkhuhlane ongajwayelekile wawubonakala ungenelele: akekho omunye otheleleke kuwo ngisho nasemhumeni, othwalayo akatholakalanga. Eminyakeni embalwa kamuva, inhloko efanayo yeqembu lokucwaninga, uJohnson, wezwa kusukela kumthengisi wezilwane ukuthi izinkabi zakhe zazifa ngenxa yokuphuma kwegazi. Leli gciwane lavela ngaphandle kwamaphethelo aseWashington! UJohnson wakwazi ukulibhubhisa ngosizo lwamasosha nazo zonke izinto ezifanayo zokuzivikela. Ngemva kokuba zonke izilwane ezingu-450 zibulewe, ososayensi bakwazi ukuqhuba ukuhlolwa okusha futhi bafunde ukuthi igciwane lithatha umuntu emoyeni.
Kungani izilwane zanyamalala emhumeni?
Uma abantu emhumeni begula abagulayo, khona-ke izilwane ziyanyamalala phakade. Njalo izindlovu zentwasahlobo nezindlovu, ama-buffalo, ama-antelopes nezinye izilwane zifika emhumeni weKitum - ziyakhonywa i-deposit usawoti ezindongeni ze-cleft, ezicebile kumaminerali nezakhi. Umhume onokungena owodwa "uvumela" ngaphakathi, kodwa ubamba kuze kube phakade.
Abantu abavakashele iKitum, abakwazanga ukuthola ngisho nokulandelana kwezinsalela zabo. I-hypothesis kuphela yezesayensi, ekhanga ngokukhululekile ezindlebeni, isekelwe ebukhosini obunokwenzeka bama-bacteria athile abaphendula izinto eziphilayo zibe glue, lapho ukomisa amafridi akasawoti. Isilwane siphenduka sibe yisisindo esithandanayo esithandanayo, esicubungula ngisho nokushaya kancane kwemoya. Kodwa ingabe ubukhona bama-bacteria anjalo empeleni ngempela?
Inguqulo eqinisile kakhulu ye-ufologists, eqiniseka ukuthi kukhona khona emhumeni weKitum wensimu yamandla akhethekile evuselela umzimba ngosizo lwamagagasi kagesi omvuthwandaba oyingqayizivele, kubonakala okuyiqiniso nakakhulu.
