【新型インフル UP DATE 5-2】ＷＨＯの豚インフルエンザ Ｑ＆Ａ

What should I do if I am in regular contact with pigs?（豚を扱う職業の場合）
Even though there is no clear indication that the current human cases with swine
influenza infection are related to recent or ongoing influenza-like disease events in pigs,
it would be advisable to minimize contact with sick pigs and report such animals to
relevant animal health authorities.（具合の悪い豚の取り扱いには、特に注意を）
Most people are infected through prolonged, close contact with infected pigs. Good
hygiene practices are essential in all contact with animals and are especially important
during slaughter and post-slaughter handling to prevent exposure to disease agents. Sick
animals or animals that died from disease should not be undergoing slaughtering
procedures. Follow further advice from relevant national authorities.
Swine influenza has not been shown to be transmissible to people through eating properly
handled and prepared pork (pig meat) or other products derived from pigs. （適切に処理された豚肉料理を食べても感染しません。）The swine
influenza virus is killed by cooking temperatures of 160oF/70oC corresponding to the
general guidance for the preparation of pork and other meat.（豚インフルエンザウイルスは、70度以上で死滅します。）

How can I protect myself from getting swine influenza from infected people?（豚インフルエンザの感染者と接触した場合どうすれば？）
In the past, human infection with swine influenza was generally mild but is known to
have caused severe illness such as pneumonia For the current outbreaks in the United
States and Mexico however, the clinical pictures have been different. None of the
confirmed cases in the United States have had the severe form of the disease and the
patients recovered from illness without requiring medical care. In Mexico, some patients
reportedly had the severe form of the disease.
