The risk of transferring exogenous pig viruses to man during organ xenotransplantation can be controlled by keeping the pig donors pathogen-free. A risk of mobilizing pig endogenous retroviruses and a "xenozoonosis"-infection in human organ recipients cannot be excluded according to recently reported virological cell culture experiments. The present state of research, however, does not allow an answer to the question of whether or not a disease might be caused by such an infection and whether such a virus might be contagious to third persons.
在器官异种移植过程中,将外源性猪病毒传播给人类的风险可以通过使猪供体无病原体来控制。根据最近报道的病毒学细胞培养实验,不能排除激活猪内源性逆转录病毒的风险以及人类器官接受者发生“异种人畜共患病”感染的风险。然而,目前的研究状况无法回答这样一个问题,即这种感染是否可能导致疾病,以及这种病毒是否可能传染给第三方。
