Sports, especially contact ones, have long been associated with an increased risk of contracting a communicable disease. Viral infections, in particular, have had an increased attention, due to their adverse effects on athletes' performance. As world sport events have now become more organised and diverse, athletes are now exposed to a wider range of pathogens. With the upcoming Rugby World Cup in 2011 taking place in New Zealand, team-doctors should keep a 'careful' eye on potential infectious outbreaks and make sure to adhere to guidelines accessed through fact sheets.
长期以来，体育运动，尤其是身体接触类运动，一直与感染传染病的风险增加有关。特别是病毒感染，因其对运动员表现的不利影响而受到越来越多的关注。随着世界体育赛事如今变得更加有组织且多样，运动员现在接触到的病原体范围更广。鉴于2011年即将在新西兰举行橄榄球世界杯，队医应密切关注潜在的传染病爆发，并确保遵守通过情况说明书获取的指导方针。
