鹦鹉热是人与动物共患的一种急性传染病。1879年,瑞士曾发生流行;1899年,法、德、美、巴西、阿根廷等12个国家发生流行,当时证明传染源是鹦鹉,故称鹦鹉热。后来发现除鹦鹉外的其它鸟类及家禽都可感染本病,并可造成流行,故亦称鸟疫。近年来,英、美、日等国报告,鹦鹉热发病率有明显上升趋势,并时有爆发流行。我国目前虽没有流行发生,但养禽业迅速发展,并不断从国外引进新品种,所以,对该病很有必要进一步了解。 Parrot heat is an acute contagion between humans and animals. In 1879, the epidemic occurred in Switzerland. In 1899, the epidemic occurred in 12 countries such as France, Germany, the United States, Brazil and Argentina. At that time, it was proven that the source of infection was a parrot, so it was called parrot hot. Later found that in addition to parrots other birds and poultry can be infected with the disease, and can cause epidemics, it is also known as bird disease. In recent years, Britain, the United States, Japan and other countries reported a significant upward trend in the incidence of parrot fever, and sometimes outbreaks. Although there is no epidemic in our country at present, the poultry industry has developed rapidly and imported new varieties continuously. Therefore, it is necessary to further understand the disease.
