- 1
- 00:00:01,839 --> 00:00:09,219
- There are a lot of viruses out there that
- can infect humans, but two things that can
- 很多病毒會感染人類
- 但真正可怕的是
- 2
- 00:00:09,219 --> 00:00:14,610
- get really alarming is when a virus spreads
- quickly and when it causes serious harm. Zika
- 可以快速散播,殺傷力強的病毒
- 3
- 00:00:14,610 --> 00:00:18,280
- virus has the potential to do both of these
- things, which is why it’s gotten a lot of
- 茲卡病毒恰好就是這樣
- 因此特別受到關注。
- 4
- 00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:23,020
- attention. Given this, it makes sense to understand
- a bit about Zika virus and the disease it
- 我們就來介紹茲卡病毒的成因
- 5
- 00:00:23,020 --> 00:00:24,930
- causes.
- 以及它所引發的病症。
- 6
- 00:00:24,930 --> 00:00:30,490
- Zika virus is an arbovirus, meaning it’s
- transmitted via certain arthropods, specifically
- 茲卡病毒是蟲媒病毒
- 由節肢動物傳染,
- 7
- 00:00:30,490 --> 00:00:35,000
- mosquitos, so it’s a mosquito-borne virus.
- Mosquito-borne doesn’t mean that the virus
- 尤其是蚊子。
- 8
- 00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:39,760
- is “born” in the mosquito, though, but
- it’s “borne”, with an ‘e’, which
- 病毒不是由蚊子產生
- 9
- 00:00:39,760 --> 00:00:45,110
- means carried or transported. Sometimes we
- call organisms like this “vectors”, where
- 而是由蚊子傳播,
- 所以蚊子稱為病媒動物。
- 10
- 00:00:45,110 --> 00:00:49,629
- all they do is transport the virus. So with
- Zika virus, just like other mosquito-borne
- 除了茲卡病毒以外,
- 蚊子傳播的病毒
- 11
- 00:00:49,629 --> 00:00:55,510
- viruses like dengue fever, yellow fever, Japanese
- encephalitis, and West Nile virus, the mosquito
- 還包括登革熱、黃熱病、日本腦炎
- 和西尼羅河病毒。
- 12
- 00:00:55,510 --> 00:01:00,219
- acts as a vector that transmits the virus
- from one person to the next. These viruses
- 蚊子四處傳播的這些病毒
- 13
- 00:01:00,219 --> 00:01:03,500
- are all in the genus flavivirus.
- 都屬於黃病毒。
- 14
- 00:01:03,500 --> 00:01:10,020
- In order to mature her offspring, female mosquitoes
- need a blood-meal, which they get from unsuspecting
- 為了繁殖,雌蚊需從宿主身上
- 吸食大量血液補充體力。
- 15
- 00:01:10,020 --> 00:01:13,969
- hosts. Mosquitoes find their blood-meals using
- chemical compounds that we and other organisms
- 蚊子要找到宿主吸血
- 得靠宿主身上排出的化合物
- 16
- 00:01:13,969 --> 00:01:20,039
- give off, like carbon dioxide, ammonia, lactic
- acid, and octenol. So when a mosquito that
- 例如二氧化碳、氨、
- 乳酸,和辛烯醇。因此,
- 17
- 00:01:20,039 --> 00:01:25,189
- also happens to be carrying the virus finds
- her meal and digs in, the virus infects the
- 帶病毒的蚊子找到目標
- 叮咬後,病毒便由此感染
- 18
- 00:01:25,189 --> 00:01:31,219
- human host and starts to multiply or reproduce
- within the human. With most flaviviruses though,
- 並在人的體內繁殖。
- 多數的黃病毒
- 19
- 00:01:31,219 --> 00:01:35,569
- the virus isn’t able to replicate enough
- in the human host to actually be able to reinfect
- 在人體內繁殖速度不夠快
- 不會傳給另一只蚊子,
- 20
- 00:01:35,569 --> 00:01:42,889
- another mosquito, and so the human is considered
- a dead-end-host. However, the Zika virus,
- 所以人是病毒的最終宿主。
- 不過茲卡病毒
- 21
- 00:01:42,889 --> 00:01:47,859
- along with yellow and dengue fever, is well
- enough adapted to human hosts such that they
- 跟黃熱病和登革熱一樣
- 容易適應人的體質,
- 22
- 00:01:47,859 --> 00:01:53,079
- can multiply to a point where it can re-infect
- another unsuspecting mosquito, which can then
- 所以繁殖迅速,
- 足以傳給另一只蚊子
- 23
- 00:01:53,079 --> 00:01:58,569
- go on to infect more people. This window lasts
- for the first week of infection during which
- 再傳給其他的人。
- 關鍵的階段就在感染後第一週,
- 24
- 00:01:58,569 --> 00:02:02,609
- the Zika virus can be found in the blood.
- So if humans with the disease can transmit
- 這時候病毒就在患者血液裡
- 很容易再傳回給蚊子,
- 25
- 00:02:02,609 --> 00:02:06,819
- back to mosquitoes then you can imagine that
- areas where there’re a lot of mosquitoes,
- 可想而知蚊子多的地方
- 00:02:06,819 --> 00:02:10,679
- would be a set-up for spreading the virus
- super quickly, right?
- 就是病毒最容易傳播的地方。
- 27
- 00:02:10,679 --> 00:02:16,129
- Now the Zika virus is transmitted via mosquitos
- in the Aedes genus. These blood thirsty little
- 茲卡病毒是以黑斑蚊為媒介。
- 這些愛吸血的小東西
- 28
- 00:02:16,129 --> 00:02:22,159
- guys can bite at night, but are mostly active
- during the daytime. Aedes mosquitoes are also
- 夜裡會盯人,白天更活耀。
- 黑斑蚊除了傳染茲卡病毒,
- 29
- 00:02:22,159 --> 00:02:29,500
- the same ones that transmit Chikungunya fever
- and dengue fever. When Aedes aegypti or Aedes
- 也傳染基孔肯亞熱和登革熱。
- 能傳染病菌的黑斑蚊有兩種,
- 30
- 00:02:29,500 --> 00:02:35,150
- albopictus, both species of Aedes mosquito,
- lands on your skin and sticks in it’s long
- 就是白紋伊蚊或埃及斑蚊。
- 31
- 00:02:35,150 --> 00:02:39,680
- nose—or proboscis, it pierces the epidermis
- which is the topmost layer, composed almost
- 它們以長喙刺穿表皮吸血,
- 32
- 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:45,489
- entirely of keratinocytes. Keratinocytes basically
- serve to protect against foreign pathogens,
- 表皮是角質細胞組成的,
- 可以抵擋病原體,
- 33
- 00:02:45,489 --> 00:02:49,980
- and it’s typically pretty good at that.
- That proboscis though keeps going into the
- 通常可以有效防止病菌侵入。
- 但蚊子的喙卻能穿入真皮層,
- 34
- 00:02:49,980 --> 00:02:54,400
- dermis, since the epidermis just gets oxygen
- from the air and doesn’t have its own blood
- 因為表皮沒有血管,
- 能從空氣中直接吸收氧氣,
- 35
- 00:02:54,400 --> 00:02:58,819
- supply, whereas the dermis does, and this
- is what our mosquito’s after, right, the
- 真皮才有血管,
- 這才是蚊子的下手的目標。
- 36
- 00:02:58,819 --> 00:03:04,249
- blood meal. Since the proboscis goes through
- both the epidermal and dermal layers, the
- 既然黑斑蚊的喙
- 能穿透表皮和真皮,
- 37
- 00:03:04,249 --> 00:03:10,200
- cells in those layers are susceptible to infection
- by Zika virus. So in addition to keratinocytes,
- 這兩層的細胞都易感茲卡病毒。
- 研究更發現除了角質細胞以外,
- 38
- 00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:15,140
- fibroblasts, and dendritic cells have also
- been found to be permissive to Zika virus,
- 成纖維細胞和樹狀細胞也
- 很容易感染上茲卡病毒,
- 39
- 00:03:15,140 --> 00:03:19,170
- meaning they have some sort of receptor or
- attachment site that basically says, here
- 因為這些細胞表層
- 都有某種受體或連結位置
- 40
- 00:03:19,170 --> 00:03:22,239
- you go man, come on in.
- 可以讓病毒長驅直入。
- 41
- 00:03:22,239 --> 00:03:26,
- Now we still don’t know everything about
- the Zika virus infection, but we do know that
- 目前我們對茲卡病毒
- 還不完全了解,但我們知道
- 42
- 00:03:26,340 --> 00:03:32,040
- when it enters the cell, it injects a single-stranded
- positive RNA strand. Positive means that this
- 它進入細胞時會注入
- 正單鏈RNA。正單鏈
- 43
- 00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:36,989
- piece of RNA’s a lot like our own mRNA;
- it’s basically ready to rock and get translated
- 和人體內的mRNA很相似
- 可以直接被轉為蛋白質
- 44
- 00:03:36,989 --> 00:03:43,969
- into proteins. The virus’s genome is translated
- by our own cellular machinery into more viruses.
- 病毒基因組透過
- 細胞機制轉為更多病毒
- 45
- 00:03:43,969 --> 00:03:49,069
- Eventually those cells-turned-virus-making-factories
- die, which actually ends up releasing more
- 最終受感染的細胞會凋亡
- 排放出更多病毒
- 46
- 00:03:49,069 --> 00:03:52,930
- viruses to infect more cells.
- 去感染其他細胞
- 47
- 00:03:52,930 --> 00:03:56,870
- As bleak as all that sounds, our immune system’s
- actually pretty good at fighting off Zika
- 雖然聽起來很脆弱,事實上
- 免疫系統很善於對抗茲卡病毒
- 48
- 00:03:56,870 --> 00:04:02,279
- virus, and only 1 in 5 get sick from infection,
- and the often the others won’t even notice
- 感染者只有五分之一會發病
- 其餘的甚至不會感覺異狀
- 49
- 00:04:02,279 --> 00:04:07,879
- they’ve been infected. Common symptoms when
- patients have them, are mild fever and skin
- 一般症狀
- 只是輕度發熱和起皮疹
- 50
- 00:04:07,879 --> 00:04:12,749
- rash, but some also experience muscle and
- joint pain, headaches, and conjunctivitis,
- 有些人會感到肌肉和關節痠痛
- 或是頭痛、結膜炎、或紅眼
- 51
- 00:04:12,749 --> 00:04:18,940
- or red eyes. The incubation period, or time
- from infection to symptoms isn’t known,
- 目前,還不知道從感染
- 到症狀出現的時間有多長
- 52
- 00:04:18,940 --> 00:04:23,180
- but it’s thought to be from a few days to
- a week.
- 但估計潛伏期為數天
- 到一個禮拜之間
- 53
- 00:04:23,180 --> 00:04:27,080
- Treatment usually just involves treating the
- symptoms, things like getting plenty of rest,
- 治療方法以紓解症狀為主
- 例如多休息
- 54
- 00:04:27,080 --> 00:04:31,870
- drinking fluids to prevent dehydration, and
- taking medicine like acetaminophen to help
- 多喝水避免脫水
- 以及服用乙酰氨酚等藥物
- 55
- 00:04:31,870 --> 00:04:34,550
- reduce pain and fever.
- 幫助減低疼痛和退燒
- 56
- 00:04:34,550 --> 00:04:38,270
- Okay so we’ve hit the “spreads quickly”
- part, which really matters most in places
- 以上說的是茲卡病毒傳播迅速
- 這在蚊子多的地方,特別重要
- 57
- 00:04:38,270 --> 00:04:43,580
- with lots of mosquitoes, but what about the
- “causes serious harm” part? Well, although
- 現在要來解釋
- 它的強大殺傷力了
- 58
- 00:04:43,580 --> 00:04:49,090
- it causes mild symptoms in adults, there’s
- more to the story. In October 2015, in areas
- 一般成人感染後症狀雖不嚴重
- 但問題不只於此。2015年10月
- 59
- 00:04:49,090 --> 00:04:53,750
- of Brazil where Zika virus has been circulated
- quite a bit, public health officials noticed
- 病毒在巴西廣泛傳染
- 公共衛生官員注意到
- 00:04:53,750 --> 00:04:58,710
- a significant increase in babies born with
- microcephaly, which is when a child is born
- 嬰兒小腦症的病例明顯增加
- 也就是:嬰兒出生時頭部特別小
- 61
- 00:04:58,710 --> 00:05:04,090
- with an abnormally small head and therefore
- abnormally small brain size; this has the
- 因此影響到腦部大小
- 62
- 00:05:04,090 --> 00:05:09,270
- tendency to cause serious neurological and
- intellectual deficits, seizures, as well as
- 這會導致神經和智能上的缺陷
- 63
- 00:05:09,270 --> 00:05:14,020
- vision or hearing problems. It was noticed
- that there was a huge increase in babies with
- 癲癇、以及視覺或聽覺的障礙
- 巴西茲卡病毒蔓延地區
- 64
- 00:05:14,020 --> 00:05:20,590
- microcephaly—up to a 20-fold increase—among
- 嬰兒小腦症的病例
- 增加了二十倍
- 65
- 00:05:20,590 --> 00:05:25,560
- As of November 2015, the European Center for
- Disease Control has stated that it’s plausible
- 2015年11月
- 歐洲疾病預防控制中心已經聲明
- 66
- 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:31,060
- the Zika virus is able to cause microcephaly
- in the developing fetus or newborn, as the
- 茲卡病毒可能造成
- 胎兒或新生兒罹患小腦症
- 67
- 00:05:31,060 --> 00:05:35,080
- Zika virus can be transmitted from mother
- to baby during pregnancy or around the time
- 因為病毒會經由母親
- 在懷孕期或生產時傳染給胎兒
- 68
- 00:05:35,080 --> 00:05:40,620
- of birth, although it’s not yet known how
- often this happens or how exactly the Zika
- 只是現在還不能確定
- 傳染的發生機率
- 69
- 00:05:40,620 --> 00:05:42,620
- virus is linked to microcephaly.
- 以及病毒和小腦症的直接關聯
- 70
- 00:05:42,620 --> 00:05:49,620
- In addition to being spread mostly by mosquito
- bites, and in some cases from mother to child,
- 除了透過蚊蟲叮咬
- 以及經由母體傳給胎兒之外
- 71
- 00:05:49,620 --> 00:05:54,560
- Zika virus has also been reported to spread
- through both blood transfusions and sexual
- 也有報導說茲卡病毒
- 能藉由血液和性接觸傳染
- 72
- 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:55,479
- contact.
- 73
- 00:05:55,479 --> 00:06:00,940
- Currently, there’s no vaccine for Zika virus,
- so it’s highly advised to take precautions
- 目前還沒有疫苗能對抗茲卡
- 所以強烈建議大眾提高警覺
- 74
- 00:06:00,940 --> 00:06:06,370
- when traveling to areas of outbreak, mostly
- limiting mosquito bites, so doing things like
- 到病情嚴重地區旅遊
- 盡可能避免被蚊子叮咬
- 75
- 00:06:06,370 --> 00:06:10,960
- wearing bug spray all day, or wearing long-sleeve
- shirts and pants, especially during the day
- 全天都要噴抹防蚊液
- 或穿長袖衣褲
- 76
- 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,580
- when the Aedes mosquitoes are most active.
- If infected, it’s especially important to
- 尤其是在黑斑蚊活躍的時候
- 77
- 00:06:15,580 --> 00:06:20,650
- avoid mosquitoes to avoid spreading Zika virus
- to others, especially in that first week of
- 萬一被感染,更要避開蚊子
- 以免再將病毒傳染給他人
- 78
- 00:06:20,650 --> 00:06:25,819
- symptoms. The World Health Organization currently
- suggests pregnant women consult their doctor
- 特別是出現症狀的第一週
- 世衛組織也建議懷孕婦女
- 79
- 00:06:25,819 --> 00:06:33,629
- or travel clinic for guidance
- and recommendations.
- 諮詢醫師,聽取建議。
