在牛和人乳腺中发现的H5N1禽流感引起了对传播的关切。 H5N1 avian flu found in cow and human milk glands raises transmission concerns.

一项新的研究表明,乳牛和人类体内的哺乳腺含有可能感染H5N1禽流感病毒的硅酸受体,引起对通过牛奶传播的担忧。 A new study reveals that mammary glands in dairy cattle and humans contain sialic acid receptors that can host the H5N1 avian flu virus, raising concerns about transmission through milk. 自2024年春季以来,该病毒已感染了1 000多个奶牛群,并造成71例确诊的人类病例,其中两人死亡。 Since spring 2024, the virus has infected over 1,000 dairy cattle herds and caused 71 confirmed human cases, with two deaths. 虽然消毒杀死了病毒,但任何哺乳动物的生奶可能构成风险。 While pasteurization kills the virus, raw milk from any mammal may pose a risk. 研究人员警告说,牲畜和人类的继续扩散可能导致更危险的变异,强调必须不断进行监测,以防止病毒进一步演变。 Researchers warn that continued spread in livestock and humans could lead to more dangerous variants, emphasizing the need for ongoing surveillance to prevent further evolution of the virus.
