Carrier of Seven Days Fever Found by Lima Professor
Professor Townsend of Lima announces a new disease carrier a small mothlike hairy midge of the genus Fhiobotomus. The insect moves sluggishly, folds its wings when resting and lays eggs in dark crevices. Larvae hatch in a week in stagnant water and decaying vegetation, then become pupae after eight weeks and emerge as flies. The carrier species is widespread in tropical regions and linked to a fever occurring where present. The dialogue shifts to a light exchange about a gossiping boarder and a nickname Foomer.
