An increased risk of community-acquired pneumonia has been shown in residents of rural livestock farming areas in the Netherlands and United States, probably due to air pollution exposure or zoonotic infections. Spatial epidemiological analyses have particularly implicated poultry and goat farms in the increased risk-an observation that warrants further research. Studying the viral or bacterial etiology of community-acquired pneumonia using traditional microbiological methods or metagenomic sequencing could help to fathom to what extent environmental factors and causative pathogens contribute to spatial differences in the incidence of severe acute respiratory infections.
荷兰和美国农村畜牧养殖地区的居民患社区获得性肺炎的风险增加，这可能是由于接触空气污染或人畜共患感染。空间流行病学分析特别指出家禽养殖场和山羊养殖场是风险增加的原因——这一观察结果值得进一步研究。使用传统微生物学方法或宏基因组测序研究社区获得性肺炎的病毒或细菌病因，有助于了解环境因素和致病病原体在多大程度上导致了严重急性呼吸道感染发病率的空间差异。
