对新型H1N1流感（猪流感）大流行的反应绝大多数是生物学和流行病学的。虽然疫苗计划正在向前推进，但真正大规模全球性灾难的社会影响或沟通问题，应对可预测的不当反应，人口对这些影响的准备，或在灾难中使用当地人口资源，都没有得到充分考虑。在规划和应对流感和其他全球紧急情况方面，人类学可以发挥重要但未得到充分利用的作用。这篇社论讨论了这些问题，并提出了一些初步建议。
The response to the novel H1N1 influenza (swine flu) pandemic has been overwhelmingly biological and epidemiological in scope. While plans are moving forward on a vaccine, few of the social effects of a truly massive global catastrophe-or the issues of communication, responding to predictable inappropriate reactions, preparation of populations for these effects, or using local population resources in the epidemic-have been well considered. Anthropology can play an important and underutilized role in planning and responding to influenza and other global emergencies. This editorial discusses these issues and makes some preliminary recommendations.
