The future of mankind the Holocaust will start from the animal world? scientists concluded that over the past 25 years, a total of 38 species of diseases transmitted by animals to humans, but the threat is being accelerated.
Scotland Edinburgh University's expert Mark · Wu tollhouse pointed out that at present able to infect humans known pathogens 1407, which has a total of 58% of viruses, bacteria, parasites, fungi and other pathogens from animals. While scientists estimated 177 a pathogen is "build" or "regeneration", although most do not lead to epidemic disease, but enough to arouse people's vigilance.
According to the last 25 years of records, each year there are two freshmen or variants of the first invasion of human pathogens. In the face of storms raging viruses, Wu tollhouse fears that if this trend continues the Millennium, mankind will be very difficult to resist the onslaught of infectious diseases.
"In the long history of humanity, the invasion of new pathogens and not uncommon. But after entering the modern society, we find this frequency. "Wu tollhouse said, why are so many viruses can easily be" anchored "to the human body, this really is a modern social issues should be considered.
United States National Center for infectious diseases and Nina · malano explained that caused the outbreak of the "epidemic" of May and the Earth's environment. With global warming, population density, population movements faster, animal infectious pathogens is increasingly likely "into" the formation of human body, easy-to-human transmission. HIV, Marburg, SARS, etc are examples.
Avian influenza virus spread from Asia to Europe, and now invasion to most parts of the world, including Europe and Africa. 19-United States scientists have stressed the need to control avian influenza in Animal Kingdom "". "The present policy is avian influenza control in the Animal Kingdom, because once the virus into humanity, people have to cope with the vaccine, antiretroviral drugs, and so on, this will be a completely new areas. "Malano said. But some scientists believe that if the avian influenza virus spreading from person to person, the destruction may be greatly reduced.
