We have identified this parasite – a small unicellular an organism very similar to an ordinary amoeba. But we do not know the main thing: where did he come from in the bay and how with him fight.

After all, the mass death of only leopard sharks can disrupt the region’s ecosystem, not to mention that this the microorganism also ruthlessly kills other fish. And this is already a real disaster. Unfortunately, researchers cannot find and the cause of the parasite.
It is possible that secret biological laboratories of the military, developing all kinds of drugs and often leaking their “terrible discoveries.” But of course, everyone is silent about this, which complicates the situation and makes it difficult to deal with environmental disaster …
