Foodborne diseases are an important cause of human illness worldwide. Humans acquire these infections from a variety of sources and routes of transmission. Many efforts have been made in the last decades to prevent and control foodborne diseases, particularly foodborne zoonoses. However, information on the impact of these interventions is limited. To identify and prioritize successful food safety interventions, it is important to attribute the burden of human illness to the specific sources. Defining scientific concepts and harmonizing terminology for "source attribution" is essential for understanding and improving attribution methodologies and for sharing knowledge within the scientific community. We propose harmonized nomenclature, and describe the various approaches for human illness source attribution and their usefulness to address specific public health questions.
食源性疾病是全球人类疾病的一个重要原因。人类通过多种来源和传播途径感染这些疾病。在过去几十年里，人们为预防和控制食源性疾病，特别是食源性人畜共患病付出了许多努力。然而，关于这些干预措施影响的信息有限。为了确定成功的食品安全干预措施并确定其优先顺序，将人类疾病负担归因于特定来源很重要。定义“来源归因”的科学概念并统一术语，对于理解和改进归因方法以及在科学界内共享知识至关重要。我们提出了统一的命名法，并描述了人类疾病来源归因的各种方法及其在解决特定公共卫生问题方面的作用。
