A survey was undertaken among the veterinary staff of the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Food and the Institute for Research in Animal Diseases to estimate the distribution of occupationally acquired zoonoses in this population. A self-administered questionnaire was distributed to 1717 staff, 1625 (95%) of whom responded. It was observed that both laboratory and technical support staff were at risk from a variety of zoonotic infections, though generally to a lesser extent than veterinary surgeons. A history of injury while handling animals was reported frequently by veterinarians (45%). Accidental self-injection with vaccines was also commonly reported. It is suggested that both injury from animals and accidental self-injection are associated with the risk of zoonotic infection.
针对农业、渔业和食品部以及动物疾病研究所的兽医工作人员开展了一项调查,以估计该人群中职业性获得人畜共患病的分布情况。向1717名工作人员发放了一份自填式问卷,其中1625人(95%)进行了回复。结果发现,实验室和技术支持人员都面临多种人畜共患病感染的风险,不过总体而言,其风险程度低于兽医。兽医经常报告在处理动物时受伤的情况(45%)。意外自我注射疫苗的情况也很常见。有人认为,动物造成的伤害和意外自我注射都与人畜共患病感染风险有关。
