Noteworthy is fact that under IHR (2005) the point of entry is understand as a passage of international flow of travellers, baggage, cargo, containers, conveyances, goods and also postal parcels. The proper control and prophylaxis actions may mineralize or stop an international spreading of disease. That is why WHO puts an effort to help State-Parties to strengthen their national surveillance systems and develop core capacities in preparedness and response in points of entry. In the article the author gives examples of prophylaxis of communicable diseases in points of entry according to IHR (2005) recommendations.
《国际卫生条例（2005）》于2007年6月生效，它不仅为建立传染病监测的核心能力，也为防范和应对各类甚至不可预测的突发公共卫生事件提供了指导方针和建议。入境点是疾病通过国际交通传播的关键环节。值得注意的是，根据《国际卫生条例（2005）》，入境点被理解为旅行者、行李、货物、集装箱、交通工具、物品以及邮政包裹等国际流动的通道。适当的管控和预防措施可以减少或阻止疾病的国际传播。这就是为什么世界卫生组织努力帮助缔约国加强其国家监测系统，并在入境点发展防范和应对的核心能力。在本文中，作者根据《国际卫生条例（2005）》的建议，列举了入境点传染病预防的实例。
