摘　　要：In recent decades,China has experienced significant alterations in its landscape of infectious diseases,with noteworthy reductions in historically prevalent illnesses such as tuberculosis and viral hepatitis.At the same time,emerging pathogens like severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARS),Influenza A virus subtype H7N9(H7N9),and SARS coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)pose new challenges.These epidemiological shifts,fueled by fast economic development,urbanization,modifications in the healthcare system,and an aging population,present considerable obstacles to the country’s public health infrastructure and policy frameworks.This article provides a comprehensive review of these changes,underscoring the driving forces behind them and the resultant impact on health policy and infrastructure.It stresses the challenges and calls for an intensification of surveillance efforts,the establishment of collaborative partnerships both nationally and internationally,the encouragement of worldwide cooperation,and the reinforcement of public health education as pivotal strategies for managing China’s changing spectrum of infectious diseases.
