本文以牛结核病为例，探讨了新形式的生物安全的出现、理解和拒绝。该论文认为，关于生物安全的争论可以被概念化为关于调节疾病流动的能力及其所采用的空间结构的争论。来自议会调查和访谈的数据被用来展示将生物安全形式制度化的尝试是如何从由许多社会、自然和物质主体配置的规定和谈判空间的微妙平衡中产生的。这些空间之间的相互作用提供了一种调节疾病流动和净化农业空间的方法。这种平衡遭到了农民的抵制，他们在管理农业突发事件方面的不断斗争的实践知识使他们认为，只有统一的空间版本才能有效地调节疾病的传播。作者最后讨论了认识这些差异对于未来生物安全和动物健康政策的重要性。
Using the example of bovine tuberculosis, this paper explores the emergence, understanding, and rejection of new forms of biosecurity. The paper argues that debates over biosecurity can be conceptualised as arguments over the ability to regulate flows of disease and the constructions of space they adopt. Data from parliamentary inquiries and inter-views are used to show how attempts to institutional i se forms of biosecurity emerge from a delicate balance of prescribed and negotiated spaces configured by a host of social, natural, and material agents. The interaction between these spaces provides a way of regulating the flows of disease and purifying agricultural space. This balance is resisted by farmers, whose practical knowledges of the constant struggle of managing the contingencies of agriculture lead them to suggest that only uniform versions of space can effectively regulate flows of disease. The author concludes by discussing the importance of recognising these differences for future biosecurity and animal health policy.
