英國廣播公司(BBC)新聞網今天(12日)報導,最新研究顯示,4歲以下的年幼駱駝可能是中東呼吸症候群(MERS)的主要來源。

一支國際科學團隊針對800多隻單峰駱駝展開研究,以尋找目前或曾經感染MERS的證據。結果發現,九成以上的駱駝都在2歲前感染MERS,而且病毒散播的情形比成年駱駝來得普遍。這項研究刊登於「新興傳染病期刊」(Emerging Infectious Diseases)。

科學家認為,改變畜牧方式或許可以降低人類感染MERS的機率,例如延後幾年再把年幼駱駝帶離母駱駝身邊。

歐洲、亞洲和非洲等25個國家都出現MERS疫情,目前超過1,100起確診病例,死亡人數也已超過400人,其中以沙烏地阿拉伯最為嚴重,南韓也已經出現11起死亡病例。

有鑑於MERS對人類健康的危害,科學家正努力尋找病毒來源,希望找到預防人類感染的方法。

先前參與尋找MERS源頭研究的穆勒(Muller)博士向BBC表示,「我們還在南非的蝠蝙身上發現MERS遠祖的病毒,在演化上比當今的MERS更為久遠」,不過之間的關聯仍有待釐清。var LIGHTBOX_DARLA_CONFIG ={"useYAC":0,"usePE":0,"servicePath":"https:\/\/tw.news.yahoo.com\/__darla\/php\/fc.php","xservicePath":"","beaconPath":"https:\/\/tw.news.yahoo.com\/__darla\/php\/b.php","renderPath":"","allowFiF":false,"srenderPath":"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/rq\/darla\/2-8-9\/html\/r-sf.html","renderFile":"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/rq\/darla\/2-8-9\/html\/r-sf.html","sfbrenderPath":"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/rq\/darla\/2-8-9\/html\/r-sf.html","msgPath":"https:\/\/tw.news.yahoo.com\/__darla\/2-8-9\/html\/msg.html","cscPath":"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/rq\/darla\/2-8-9\/html\/r-csc.html","root":"__darla","edgeRoot":"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/rq\/darla\/2-8-9","sedgeRoot":"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/rq\/darla\/2-8-9","version":"2-8-9","tpbURI":"","hostFile":"https:\/\/s.yimg.com\/rq\/darla\/2-8-9\/js\/g-r-min.js","beaconsDisabled":true,"rotationTimingDisabled":true}var t_MediaGalleryBobaSpotlight_start = new Date().getTime();

Experts from the World Health Organization and South Korea on Saturday downplayed concerns about the MERS virus spreading further within the country, but said that it was premature to declare the outbreak over.
