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.

水牛痘：新出现的人畜共患挑战。

水痘病毒是 Vaccinia 病毒的变种，可引起水痘。近来，人类感染水痘的情况时有发生，尤其是在东南亚水痘流行国家。虽然死亡率不高，但相关的发病率却很高。由于对天花的交叉保护免疫力正在减弱，水痘病毒是可能出现或再次出现的几种痘病毒之一。要防治这种病毒，最重要的是及早识别、隔离和控制动物和人类的感染。此外，还必须为有感染风险的动物和人类接种疫苗，以限制病毒在动物之间和动物与人类之间的传播。有鉴于此，动物卫生部门和人类卫生部门之间的合作是必不可少的。
