這期的Nature雜誌的一則關於貓的新聞
病毒學或流行病學不是我的專長
不過內容中說明

"目前沒有任何證據或關聯性顯示貓會傳染禽流感給人類"
In a statement last week, the WHO maintained a careful but reassuring tone: "There is no present evidence that domestic cats play a role in the transmission cycle of H5N1 viruses. To date, no human case has been linked to exposure to a diseased cat."

但也提到人類和家貓的病毒株相似

貓咪只要在家裡不出門應該就不會有事了吧~?

目前台灣還是非禽流感區
所以大家放心千萬不可人云亦云
但是也是要小心謹慎
貓寶貝盡量不要讓他們獨自跑到外面比較安全喔
