| Background | The Onlies are a race from an alternate earth that fell victim to an experiment attempting to extend life. The result was a disease that strikes after the onset of puberty. A cure for this desease know as Filterable virus (number order 2250-678) was discovered by Dr. Mc Coy in stellar date 2713.5. |
| Editors Notes | Practically identical to the Earth, Miri's World is yet another example of a parallel planetary evolution. The inhabitants of this planet had a normal evolution until a biological experiment intended to prolong life failed, and dispersed a virus that killed all the adults. One side effect did prolong the life of all the surviving children, each of which contracted the illness during adolescence. When the Enterprise has discovered this planet, in date 2713, it found only a small group of survivors; other searches identified around 10,000 individuals, all under age 12 years. A serum has eliminated the virus and a federal team is driving the inhabitants until they are able to govern alone. |
| Filterable virus
(number order 2250-678) |
Agent: The illness is the consequence
of experiments on the prolongation of the life; the victims contract
the virus at the attainment of the puberty.
Aggression and period of incubation: The virus becomes effective during puberty, and requires a period of incubation of various weeks. Any victims that have passed the age of puberty and have not been immunized, contract the illness immediately (it is supposed that the virus operates on the hormones of the adult, estrogens and testosteron). Once the virus appears the symptoms last for about 7 days. Vulcans seem to have an immunity to the virus, but they can be carriers of it. Symptoms
