中新网5月22日电 据路透社及英国《卫报》报道，当地时间5月22日，澳大利亚维多利亚州卫生部门报告了该国首例人类感染禽流感病例。这是澳大利亚首次出现人类感染禽流感的情况，引起了当地卫生部门的高度关注。
该病例是一名居住在维多利亚州中部地区的成年男性，据称他在近期接触了感染禽流感病毒的鸡只。目前，该男子已经接受了适当的治疗，并正在医院接受观察。卫生部门表示，尽管这是澳大利亚首次记录人类感染禽流感，但公众无需过度恐慌，因为禽流感病毒通常通过直接接触受感染的鸟类或其粪便传播，在人与人之间传播的风险非常低。
澳大利亚卫生官员已呼吁民众保持警惕，并采取适当的预防措施，如避免接触受感染的鸟类，保持个人卫生，以及一旦出现流感样症状及时就医。同时，相关部门也将加强监测和防控措施，以防止疫情的进一步扩散。
这一病例的出现提醒了全球公共卫生专家，禽流感病毒可能具有跨物种传播的能力，尤其是在人类与禽类接触频繁的地区。各国应加强监测和防控禽流感病毒的人畜共患传播，并做好相应的准备和应急措施。

CHENGDU, May 22 (Xinhua) — A human case of avian influenza has been reported in Victoria, Australia, according to reports from Reuters and The Guardian. The Victoria state health department announced the first case of human infection with avian influenza on May 22, sparking high concern among local health authorities.
The patient is an adult male from the central region of Victoria who reportedly came into contact with infected chickens that were carrying the avian influenza virus. The man has been receiving appropriate treatment and is currently under observation in a hospital. Health officials have stated that while this is the first recorded case of human infection with avian influenza in Australia, there is no need for public panic, as the virus typically spreads through direct contact with infected birds or their droppings, and the risk of transmission between humans is very low.
Australian health officials have urged the public to remain vigilant and take appropriate preventive measures, such as avoiding contact with infected birds, practicing good personal hygiene, and seeking medical attention immediately if flu-like symptoms appear. Additionally, the authorities will step up monitoring and control measures to prevent the further spread of the outbreak.
The case has served as a reminder to global public health experts about the potential for avian influenza viruses to cross species and transmit between humans and animals, especially in areas where there is frequent contact between humans and poultry. It is advised that countries strengthen monitoring and control measures to prevent the zoonotic spread of avian influenza and be prepared with contingency plans and measures.
