Abstract:
As a variant of Vaccinia virus, Buffalopox virus is known to cause Buffalopox disease. In recent times, sporadic outbreaks of the infection in humans have been reported, especially in the endemic countries of Southeast Asia. Though mortality has not been high, associated morbidity is significant. Due to waning cross-protective immunity against smallpox, Buffalopox virus is one of the several orthopox viruses likely to emerge or reemerge. To combat this virus, early recognition, isolation, and management of the infection in animals and humans is of prime importance. In addition, vaccination in animals and humans at risk of acquiring infection is essential as a means of limiting animal-to-animal and animal-to-human spread of the virus. With this in mind, a collaborative approach between the animal and human health sectors is indispensable.
摘要:
作为痘苗病毒的变种,已知水痘病毒会导致水痘。最近,据报道,人类感染的零星爆发,特别是在东南亚的流行国家。虽然死亡率不高,相关的发病率是显著的。由于天花交叉保护免疫力的减弱,水痘病毒是可能出现或重新出现的几种正痘病毒之一。为了对抗这种病毒,早期识别,隔离,动物和人类感染的管理至关重要。此外,作为限制病毒在动物与动物之间和动物与人之间传播的手段,在有感染风险的动物和人中接种疫苗是必不可少的。考虑到这一点,动物和人类卫生部门之间的合作方法是必不可少的。
