最近的研究表明，猪和家禽专业人员，特别是那些在大型隔离设施中工作的人，感染人畜共患流感病毒的风险明显增加。作为流感病毒在动物和人之间传播的桥梁人群，这些工作人员可能将人畜共患流感病毒引入其家庭和社区，并使家猪和家禽暴露于人流感病毒。在猪或家禽圈养建筑中工作的人长期和强烈的职业暴露可能促进新型流感病毒的产生，并加速人类流感的流行。由于这些工作人员具有潜在的桥梁作用，我们认为应将其视为年度流感疫苗的优先目标群体，并接受特殊培训，以减少流感传播的风险。还应考虑加强监测和优先接受大流行病疫苗和抗病毒药物。(C)2007爱思唯尔有限公司保留所有权利。
Recent research has demonstrated that swine and poultry professionals, especially those who work in large confinement facilities, are at markedly increased risk of zoonotic influenza virus infections. In serving as a bridging population for influenza virus spread between animals and man, these workers may introduce zoonotic influenza virus into their homes and communities as well as expose domestic swine and poultry to human influenza viruses. Prolonged and intense occupational exposures of humans working in swine or poultry confinement buildings could facilitate the generation of novel influenza viruses, as well as accelerate human influenza epidemics. Because of their potential bridging role, we posit that such workers should be recognized as a priority target group for annual influenza vaccines and receive special training to reduce the risk of influenza transmission. They should also be considered for increased surveillance and priority receipt of pandernic vaccines and antivirals. (C) 2007 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
