Evidence of past zoonotic infection was investigated serologically in randomly selected Northern Ireland farmers. The percentage of farmers with antibody was: Brucella abortus (0.7), Leptospira interrogans serovars (8.1), Borrelia burgdorferi (14.3), Toxoplasma gondii (73.5), Coxiella burnetii (28.0), Chlamydia psittaci (11.1) and Hantavirus (1.2). The results show that Northern Ireland farmers have been exposed in the past to zoonotic infections. It is not known if these infections contributed to ill health in farmers but it is now time for the health of farm workers and their medical services to be reassessed.
我们对随机挑选的北爱尔兰农民进行了血清学调查,以探究过去人畜共患感染的证据。检测到有抗体的农民比例如下:流产布鲁氏菌(0.7%)、问号钩端螺旋体血清型(8.1%)、伯氏疏螺旋体(14.3%)、弓形虫(73.5%)、贝纳柯克斯体(28.0%)、鹦鹉热衣原体(11.1%)和汉坦病毒(1.2%)。结果表明,北爱尔兰农民过去曾接触过人畜共患感染。目前尚不清楚这些感染是否导致了农民的健康问题,但现在是时候重新评估农场工人的健康状况及其医疗服务了。
