| Abstract (English): |
Epidemics caused by infectious microorganisms have been a constant source of inspiration for commercial films. Many films on this topic are quite famous and well known by the general public, so they can be used to explain several epidemiological, immunological and microbiological concepts to university students in health-science degrees. In this work, several films have been selected and their most appropriate sequences for teaching purposes have been commented. Although a large part of the films on epidemiological topics usually recreate implausible situations with little scientific rigor, they are still useful in their use as teaching tools.

| Abstract (Spanish): |
Las epidemias causadas por microorganismos infecciosos han sido una constante fuente de inspiración para el cine comercial. Muchas películas sobre dicho tópico son bastante famosas y conocidas por el gran público, por lo que pueden ser unas buenas herramientas para explicar diversos conceptos epidemiológicos, inmunológicos y microbiológicos a los estudiantes de carreras biosanitarias. En este trabajo se han recopilado varias de ellas y se han comentado las secuencias más adecuadas para los fines docentes. Aunque una gran parte de las películas de temática epidemiológica suelen recrear situaciones poco plausibles y con escaso rigor científico, no por ello dejan de tener utilidad en su uso como herramientas docentes.
