Pan-Latin Avian Influenza Vocabulary

According to infectious disease specialists, there is still a possibility that avian influenza epidemics could one day spread to human populations. Several laboratories are trying to develop and produce vaccines that can adequately protect our societies from possible epidemics. No one knows whether the virus will mutate and become transmissible from person to person, and research is underway worldwide to understand the behaviour of this virus. In this context, the Pan-Latin Terminology Network (REALITER) in collaboration with the Office québécois de la langue française (OQLF) has promoted the development of the Pan-Latin Avian Influenza Vocabulary. The Vocabulary describes 72 concepts providing equivalents in eight languages: French, Catalan, Spanish, Galician, Italian, Portuguese, Romanian and English. In the case of Spanish, the equivalents used in Mexico are also present. The definitions are given in French.

根据传染病专家的观点，禽流感大流行有一天可能传播至人类群体的可能性依然存在。众多实验室正致力于研发和生产能够充分保护我们社会免受可能流行病侵害的疫苗。病毒是否会发生变异并实现人与人之间的传播尚无定论，而全球范围内的研究正在努力揭示该病毒的行为模式。在此背景下，拉丁语系术语网络（REALITER）与魁北克法语办公室（OQLF）携手推动了拉丁语系禽流感词汇的编制工作。该词汇涵盖了72个概念，提供了八种语言的对应词汇：法语、加泰罗尼亚语、西班牙语、加利西亚语、意大利语、葡萄牙语、罗马尼亚语和英语。在西班牙语中，墨西哥使用的等效词汇亦包含在内。定义以法语提供。
