A lethal new strain of bird flu has emerged in China. The H10N8 virus killed a 73-year-old woman in Nanchang City, according to a case report in the Lancet on Wednesday.
一种致命的新型禽流感病毒已在中国出现。《柳叶刀》(Lancet)周三发表的一篇病例报告称,H10N8禽流感病毒已导致南昌市一名73岁的妇女死亡。
Mingbin Liu from Nanchang City Centre for Disease Control and Prevention told the journal that the pandemic potential of this new strain should not be underestimated.
南昌市疾病预防控制中心的刘明斌告诉记者,不应低估这种新病毒引爆疫情的潜力。
“A second case of H10N8 was identified in Jiangxi Province on January 26,” he said. “This is of great concern because it reveals that the H10N8 virus has continued to circulate and may cause more human infections in future.”
“1月26日,江西省确诊了H10N8的第二个病例,”他表示。“这令人高度关注,因为它显示H10N8病毒仍在继续传播,可能在未来感染更多人。”
The two H10N8 infections both followed contact with live poultry, suggesting that the virus moved into its human victims directly from birds, although this has not been confirmed.
两个H10N8病例均发生在接触活禽之后,似乎表明病毒是从禽类直接进入受害者体内,尽管这一点尚未得到证实。
Western specialists said that, while the emergence of another flu variant capable of killing people was a concern, they were more worried by the H7N9 strain that emerged in China last spring.
