摘要

已知有1400多种微生物可引起人类疾病,因此被归类为病原微生物。地球上只有12%的微生物对新出现和再出现的疾病负责。所有的传染因子都适应了离开感染宿主的途径,因为这是使其物种得以延续的唯一途径。帮助微生物表面上恢复力的因素包括微生物的进化和适应、人类的易感性、气候和天气、不断变化的生态系统、人口和行为等。因此,人类必须认识到,与微生物的战争可能会永远持续下去。然而,如果我们不小心,微生物可能会使人类的生活不舒服,并彻底改变我们的生活方式。一个得到加强的卫生情报系统将支持一个早期预警系统,该系统能够清楚地了解实地发生的情况和正在发生的情况。它还将监测环境,包括供水系统、污水、土壤和空气,以寻找可能对人类致病的微生物的证据。我们还必须开展强有力的人类学监测,以监测可能影响疾病传播的人类行为,并必须寻找和部署有效的抗菌剂。总的来说,我们必须发展人的能力,以便有效地实施我们选定的战略,以发现、预防和减轻微生物对人类健康的影响。

The resilience of microbes – Man's great enemies
More than 1400 microbes are known to cause disease in man and are therefore classified as pathogenic microbes. Only 12% of microbes on earth are responsible for the emerging and re-emerging diseases. All infectious agents have adapted routes for exiting from their reservoirs of infection because that is the only way there can be a perpetuation of their species. Factors aiding the seeming resilience of microbes include microbial evolution and adaptation, human susceptibility, climate and weather, changing ecosystem, human demography and behaviour amongst others. Therefore, man must recognize that the war against microbes is likely going to be there permanently. If we are careless however, the microbes may make life uncomfortable for man and change how we live drastically. A strengthened health intelligence system will support an early warning system that gives clear pictures of what is on the ground and what is evolving. This will also monitor the environment including the water supply system, the sewage, the soil, and the air for evidence of microbes that may be pathogenic to man. We must also mount a robust anthropological surveillance to monitor human behavior as it may affect disease transmission and must search for and deploy effective antimicrobial agents. Overall, we must develop the human capacity that will efficiently deliver our selected strategies to detect, prevent, and mitigate the impact of microbes on human health.
