Eight epidemics of respiratory disease have been observed among islanders of Tristan da Cunha. They seem to be initiated by the arrival of ships and transmission seemed to occur as a result of close human contact but could not always be traced. Islanders suffered from less colds than those in less isolated communities.
在特里斯坦 - 达库尼亚群岛的岛民中已观察到八次呼吸道疾病流行。它们似乎是由船只抵达引发的,传播似乎是由于密切的人际接触而发生,但并非总能追溯到源头。与那些生活在较少隔离社区的人相比,岛民患感冒的次数较少。
