Abstract:

Objective To analyze the results of plague surveillance on the periphery of Batang Airport in Yushu in order to provide the basis for development of the control and prevention strategies against plague spread by air transport. Methods Field research was conducted at Batang civil airport; dynamics of plague in Yushu and the plague surveillance data of the past three years in Batang were systematically analyzed. Results All of the six counties within Yushu Prefecture were natural foci of plague. With severe prevalence of plague, Yushu witnessed continued outbreaks of plague in animals year after year, which also spread to mankind occasionally. Batang Airport was located in a natural focus of plague where three interanimal plagues had been detected from 2007 to 2009, with 4 pathogenic strains isolated. Conclusion Risks of interanimal plague were identified on the periphery of Batang Airport, where the disease might be spread through aircrafts. The airport should set up its health quarantine mechanisms and system according to the Regulations on Domestic Communications Health Quarantine, and implement transport quarantine and operate pursuant to law.
