Sensing the threat of an influenza pandemic, many countries are developing influenza pandemic prevention and control strategies. Such plans often focus efforts on detecting outbreaks and protecting leaders, health-care workers, and outbreak responders. Considering recent research, we argue that prevention plans should also include swine and poultry workers. Ignoring these workers could result in an increased probability of generating novel viruses, as well as the acceleration of a pandemic's morbidity and mortality.
意识到流感大流行的威胁，许多国家正在制定流感大流行防控策略。此类计划通常将工作重点放在检测疫情爆发以及保护领导人、医护人员和疫情应对人员上。鉴于最近的研究，我们认为预防计划还应包括养猪和养禽工人。忽视这些工人可能会增加产生新型病毒的可能性，以及加速大流行的发病率和死亡率。
