Polycocyx astris is a form of space dwelling germ that resides in interstellar dust. While answering questions sent from Miss Malvin's fourth grade class at Worley Elementary School in Kenmare County Kerry, Ireland, Doctor Phlox recalled the Polycocyx astris as a particularly virulent species. They have been known to lie dormant for millions of years at a time and still cause a 'nasty cold'. (ENT: "Breaking the Ice")
