Disease X and Africa: the creation of disease narratives
"Disease X was first conceptualised by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2018 as a tool around which discussions of epidemic preparedness could centre.
The world had already faced H5N1 ‘bird flu’ (1997), SARS (2003), H1N1 ‘swine flu’ (2009), MERS (2012), the West African Ebola outbreak (2014-2016) and Zika (2015-2017).
And so the imaginary ‘Disease X’ was added to WHO’s list of priority, and real, infectious diseases."
