Something strange just happened in a hospital in Canberra.
A doctor found a worm in a patient's brain.
The doctor's name was Dr Hari Priya Bandi.
She took the worm from the patient's brain.
It was eight centimetres long.
And it was alive – it moved.
The patient was a 64 year old Australian.
Before this, she felt ill.
She had a cough and stomach ache.
She kept forgetting things.
So she had a brain scan at hospital.
The image showed something was wrong.
The doctors decided to have a look.
Afterwards, scientists checked the worm.
It's an Ophidascaris robertsi and it usually lives in snakes.
They think the woman picked up some worm eggs when outside.
For scientists, this worm's a new thing.
In the last 30 years, there were 30 new diseases.
Most were like this – diseases from animals to people.
The number's increasing.
And it's increasing quickly.
