从新型冠状病毒肺炎暴发反思兽医在国家公共卫生体系中的重要作用

Reflection on the important role of veterinarians in the national public health system from the outbreak of COVID-19

国家疾病控制系统涵盖2个主要组成部分--疾病预防控制中心(医学CDC)和动物疾病预防控制中心(动物CDC),但国家公共卫生系统历来重视医学CDC,忽视动物CDC。就我国COVID-19暴发及历次人兽共患病重大疫情而言,医学CDC得到了极大关注,处于"人与动物交界面"和疫病源头控制最前沿的动物CDC仍然没有得到应有重视,未来可能仍有人兽共患病源头"四处漏风"的潜在可能性,国家公共卫生系统必须不断完善、统筹兼顾,重视兽医在公共卫生体系中不可替代的关键作用。

The national disease control system consists of two main parts: the Center for Disease Control and Prevention(CDC) and the Center for Animal Disease Control and Prevention(animal CDC). However, the national public health system has always attached great importance to CDC for human and ignored CDC for animal. From the current outbreak of COVID-19 and previous major outbreaks of zoonoses, medical CDC has received great attention. Animal CDC, which is at the forefront of "human animal interface" and disease source control, still hasn’t received due attention. In the future, there may still be the potential of "four leaks" of anthropozoonosis, and the national public health system still needs to be improved.
