To respond to emerging and re-emerging infections, it is necessary to understand the interactions between microbial pathogens and their hosts and the impact of environmental and social factors on these interactions. The importance of understanding host-pathogen interactions is underscored by the emergence of virulent H5N1 avian influenza viruses and their transmission to humans, and the potential pandemic threat they pose.
为应对新出现和再度出现的感染,有必要了解微生物病原体与其宿主之间的相互作用,以及环境和社会因素对这些相互作用的影响。高致病性H5N1禽流感病毒的出现及其向人类的传播,以及它们所构成的潜在大流行威胁,凸显了了解宿主-病原体相互作用的重要性。
