The OIE has confirmed that the H1N1 “swine flu” which emerged from Mexico last week is not a classical swine virus; this strain has not been found in animals. The virus is, in fact, a human virus capable of being passed from person to person. There is no evidence that patients have become infected after contact with animals.
世界动物卫生组织已经证实上周墨西哥发生的H1N1猪流感并不是经典型猪源病毒,至今,这一毒株在动物体内尚未发现。事实上,此病毒是一种在人之间可以进行传染的人的病毒。目前,还没有证据表明病人是在接触动物后感染的。
2. Could proper vaccination of pigs have prevented the mutation to humans?
对猪的合理的预防接种可以阻止基因对人类的突变吗?
It is not known how the human virus developed. It is not a given that it has evolved from swine flu in the field. There is no particular epidemic of swine flu in swine themselves at the moment.
前还不知道此种人的病毒的发展演变过程。没有证据表明病毒演变来自猪流感。目前,在猪群中并没有发生特别的传染性猪流感。
3. Is the Swine Flu now affecting humans the same as in pigs?
目前感染人的猪流感病毒与猪之间的病毒是一样吗?
No, what's affecting humans is a virus that is a mixture of swine flu, avian flu and human flu genes. It is not the same as the classical swine flu that affects pigs.
不是,感染人的是一种含有猪流感,禽流感和人流感混合基因的病毒。它不同于感染猪群的典型性猪流感病毒。
4. Could the human swine flu virus affect swine in the future?
这种人的猪流感病毒在未来会感染猪吗?
It is too early to know.
尚难预知。
5. If this is not a true swine flu, why does it have that name?
如果这不是一种真正的猪流感,为何要这样命名?
The virus does contain some genetic characteristics in common with classical swine flu, but, as the OIE says, it would be more logical to call it North American flu.
因为此病毒含有一些与典型性猪流感病毒相同的特征性基因。世界动物卫生组织表示,称为北美流感更为合理。
6. Can humans contract swine flu by eating infected pork or pork products?
人类通过食用感染的猪肉或猪肉产品会感染猪流感吗?
No. Swine flu is NOT transmitted through food; you cannot contract swine flu from eating pork or pork products
不会。猪流感不会通过食物传播。不会因食用猪肉或猪肉产品感染猪流感。
