　　防控H7N9须尽快改变活禽散养方式

　　新京报讯 (记者 魏铭言) 目前中国已确诊的超过300位人感染H7N9禽流感患者中，80%以上在发病前有活禽或活禽污染环境(如活禽市场)的接触史。中国疾控中心副主任冯子健、病毒病所副所长舒跃龙在今天国家卫生计生委新闻发布会上多次强调，H7N9疫情的传播渠道仍是从禽到人，因此，接触活禽及禽污染后的环境，是人类感染H7N9的最危险因素。鉴于目前疫情仍处于散发状态，上述专家指出，抵御H7N9疫情扩散，关闭活禽市场，不散养屠宰活禽，切断病毒传播途径，是比疫苗更为有效的手段。目前，我国H7N9疫苗仅完成了临床前试验，临床研究申报尚待批准。舒跃龙说，H7N9是一种新发传染病，传播途径、致病情况均与季节性流感不同，因此H7N9疫苗须尽快实施临床试验，才能证实其安全性、有效性。
