"Emerging and reemerging infectious diseases" pose a growing threat to the hegemony of biomedicine, raising questions about whether its discourse and practices can handle the global challenge they represent. The construction of this new nosological category is analyzed in this article, which examines some notable examples of the impact of (re)emerging diseases on public health, food security and human development on a global scale. It discusses irresponsible practices by sectors of the pharmaceutical and agricultural industries which led to the emergence and spread of these diseases; and points to some crucial failures of approach and time management in global health policies on HIV/AIDS, with disastrous consequences for sub-Saharan Africa.
新发和再发传染病对生物医学的主导地位构成了日益严重的威胁，引发了关于其话语和实践能否应对它们所代表的全球挑战的疑问。本文分析了这一新病种分类的构建，审视了（再）发疾病在全球范围内对公共卫生、粮食安全和人类发展产生影响的一些显著例子。文章讨论了制药和农业行业的不负责任行为导致了这些疾病的出现和传播；并指出了全球卫生政策在应对艾滋病毒/艾滋病方面在方法和时间管理上的一些关键失误，给撒哈拉以南非洲带来了灾难性后果。
