A '''bacteria''' was kept and used by [[Silurian]]s when [[ape]]s raided their [[crop]]s, and later in an attempt to exterminate [[human]]s upon waking from [[hibernation]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)|Doctor Who and the Silurians]]'') It caused what was later known as the [[Silurian plague]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Hosts of the Wirrn (audio story)|Hosts of the Wirrn]]'') | {{Rename|I named it "bacteria" as it's never called a "bacterium" in the story. Even so, the page should probably be singular: '''Bacterium (Doctor Who and the Silurians)'''}} | ||
A colony of '''bacteria''' was kept and used by [[Silurian]]s when [[ape]]s raided their [[crop]]s, and later in an attempt to exterminate [[human]]s upon waking from [[hibernation]]. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)|Doctor Who and the Silurians]]'') It caused what was later known as the [[Silurian plague]]. ([[AUDIO]]: ''[[Hosts of the Wirrn (audio story)|Hosts of the Wirrn]]'') | |||
In the [[20th century]], early on in the [[Third Doctor]]'s time at [[UNIT]], a group of [[Silurian]]s attempted to use this bacteria to wipe out most [[human]]s on [[Earth]], so that they could repopulate it themselves. The bacteria were very fast acting, killing those infected within [[hour]]s. One infected person, [[Edward Masters]], left [[Wenley Moor]], spreading the disease to [[London]]. Later, [[Brigadier]] [[Alistair Gordon Lethbridge-Stewart]] received word of the first case in [[Paris]]. At [[Liz Shaw]]'s suggestion, the Doctor tried using the drugs denoted [[A37]] and [[Z19]] against the bacteria and found it to be effective. ([[TV]]: ''[[Doctor Who and the Silurians (TV story)|Doctor Who and the Silurians]]'') | |||
According to another account, the plague was caused by a [[virus]] rather than bacteria. ([[PROSE]]: ''[[The Scales of Injustice (novel)|The Scales of Injustice]]'') | |||
