Abstract

We live in an era of emerging infectious diseases and the threat of bioterrorism. Most of the infectious agents of modern concern, from plague to avian influenza H5N1, are zoonotic diseases: infectious agents that reside in quiet animal reservoir cycles that are transmitted occasionally to humans. The public health, health care, and veterinary communities have an enormous challenge in the early recognition, reporting, treatment, and prevention of zoonotic diseases. An intimate understanding of the natural ecology, geographic distribution, clinical signs, lesions, and diagnosis of these diseases is essential for the early recognition and control of these diseases.

摘要

我们生活在一个新发传染病和生物恐怖主义威胁不断出现的时代。现代社会所关注的大多数传染源，从鼠疫到H5N1型禽流感，都是人畜共患病：这些传染源存在于平静的动物宿主循环中，偶尔会传播给人类。公共卫生、医疗保健和兽医领域在人畜共患病的早期识别、报告、治疗和预防方面面临着巨大挑战。深入了解这些疾病的自然生态、地理分布、临床症状、病变及诊断方法对于早期识别和控制这些疾病至关重要。
