摘要

自2022年1月爆发高致病性禽流感以来，截至5月20日，美国农业部（USDA）已确认在1.731亿只禽类中发现高致病性禽流感（HPAI）。美国卫生与公众服务部部长小罗伯特·肯尼迪建议，允许高致病性禽流感在火鸡和鸡身上完全传播，以确定幸存的禽类——美国农业部部长布鲁克·罗林斯也支持这一观点。美国农业部和州级农业部门对动物疾病爆发有管辖权。这种方法既危险又不道德。允许一种高度致命、迅速演变和具有传染性的病毒在家禽中自然感染，将导致家禽遭受不必要的痛苦，并使受影响农场及其附近的其他易感动物处于危险之中。这将延长农场工人的接触时间，从而可能增加病毒适应能力，并增加家禽、其他家畜和人类的传播风险。

The consequences of letting avian influenza run rampant in US poultry

As of 20 May, the US Department of Agriculture (USDA) has confirmed highly pathogenic avian influenza (HPAI) in more than 173.1 million birds since the outbreak began in January 2022. The secretary of the US Department of Health and Human Services, Robert Kennedy Jr., has suggested allowing the unmitigated spread of HPAI in turkeys and chickens to identify surviving birds—a sentiment supported by Brooke Rollins, secretary of the USDA, which, along with state-level departments of agriculture, has jurisdiction over animal disease outbreaks (1). This approach would be dangerous and unethical. Allowing a highly lethal, rapidly evolving, and contagious virus to run a natural course of infection in poultry would lead to unnecessary suffering of poultry and put other susceptible animals on and near affected farms at risk. It would prolong exposure for farmworkers, which could increase viral adaptation and transmission risks for poultry, other peridomestic animals, and humans.

期刊介绍： Science is a leading outlet for scientific news, commentary, and cutting-edge research. Through its print and online incarnations, Science reaches an estimated worldwide readership of more than one million. Science’s authorship is global too, and its articles consistently rank among the world's most cited research. Science serves as a forum for discussion of important issues related to the advancement of science by publishing material on which a consensus has been reached as well as including the presentation of minority or conflicting points of view. Accordingly, all articles published in Science—including editorials, news and comment, and book reviews—are signed and reflect the individual views of the authors and not official points of view adopted by AAAS or the institutions with which the authors are affiliated. Science seeks to publish those papers that are most influential in their fields or across fields and that will significantly advance scientific understanding. Selected papers should present novel and broadly important data, syntheses, or concepts. They should merit recognition by the wider scientific community and general public provided by publication in Science, beyond that provided by specialty journals. Science welcomes submissions from all fields of science and from any source. The editors are committed to the prompt evaluation and publication of submitted papers while upholding high standards that support reproducibility of published research. Science is published weekly; selected papers are published online ahead of print.
