Highly pathogenic avian influenza H5N1 (HPAI H5N1) infected poultry in Nigeria in 2006. The outbreaks caused significant economic losses and had serious zoonotic repercussions. The outbreaks have also had psychosocial effects on Nigerian farmers. To date, empirical data on the effect of outbreaks on humans are scarce. In this study, field data on HPAI H5N1 in Nigeria were analysed. Although only one human case leading to death was reported in Nigeria, the fact that HPAI H5N1 caused a human death created a disruption in social order and in the well-being of farmers (stress, altered livelihood and trauma) and affected the rural economy. The implication of the above on health communication, the importance of successful control measures in poultry and policy implementation are stressed. Further studies are encouraged.
2006年，高致病性H5N1禽流感（HPAI H5N1）在尼日利亚感染了家禽。疫情造成了重大经济损失，并产生了严重的人畜共患病影响。这些疫情还对尼日利亚农民产生了社会心理影响。迄今为止，关于疫情对人类影响的实证数据很少。在本研究中，对尼日利亚HPAI H5N1的实地数据进行了分析。尽管尼日利亚仅报告了一例导致死亡的人类病例，但HPAI H5N1导致人类死亡这一事实造成了社会秩序的混乱以及农民福祉的受损（压力、生计改变和创伤），并影响了农村经济。强调了上述情况对健康传播的影响、家禽成功控制措施的重要性以及政策实施。鼓励进一步开展研究。
