流感专家、维康信托(Wellcome Trust)基金会主任杰里米•法勒(Jeremy Farrar)指出,近年世界在监测和分享关于新型感染的信息方面已有大幅改进。“就在几年前,这起事件也不太可能得到注意或报道,”他表示。
“But we do not understand what causes pathogens to cross into humans, cause disease and become transmissible,” Dr Farrar added. “As a result we cannot judge how worrying an individual event is and therefore have to worry about them all.”
“但我们不知道是什么原因导致病原体跨越物种界限,进入人体,引发疾病并变得具有传染性,”法勒医生补充说。“因此我们无法判断孤立事件有多么值得忧虑,因此对所有此类事件都应保持担心。”
Prof Barclay pointed out that the three avian influenza viruses that are currently a focus of attention – H5N1, H7N9 and H10N8 – “are not the only ones out there being picked up. An H6N1 virus infected a woman in Taiwan last year, and H9N2 viruses have occasionally also infected people in recent years,” she said.
巴克利教授指出,目前各方关注的三种禽流感病毒——H5N1、H7N9和H10N8——“不是仅有的感染人的禽流感病毒。去年台湾有一名妇女感染H6N1病毒,近年H9N2病毒偶尔也会感染人,”她表示。
