| Abstract (English): |
This article reviews 36 Mexican productions or co-productions released between 1922 and 2019 in which they appear, as part of the plot, epidemics due to infectio-contagious diseases. This survey made it possible to detect in Mexican cinema the presence of 15 epidemic diseases of this type: tuberculosis, smallpox, measles, malaria, Spanish influenza, onchocerciasis, poliomyelitis, black fever, diphtheria, black plague, typhoid fever, epidemic cerebrospinal meningitis, rabies, AIDS and an unknown viral flu. The text examines some of the key sequences from these films, and analyzes the way in which these diseases appear in Mexican cinema as allegories that reflect on the social order and that express the collective fears and concerns of a certain historical moment.

El presente artículo hace una revisión de 36 producciones o coproducciones mexicanas estrenadas entre 1922 y 2019 en que aparecen, como parte de la trama, epidemias por enfermedades infecto-contagiosas. Dicha revisión permitió detectar en la filmografía mexicana la presencia de 15 enfermedades epidémicas de este tipo: tuberculosis, viruela, sarampión, paludismo, influenza española, oncocercosis, poliomielitis, fiebres negras, difteria, peste negra, fiebre tifoidea, meningitis cerebroespinal epidémica, rabia, sida y una gripa viral desconocida. El texto se detiene en algunas secuencias clave de estas películas y analiza la manera en que estas enfermedades aparecen en el cine mexicano como alegorías que reflexionan sobre el orden social y que expresan los temores e inquietudes colectivos de un cierto momento histórico.
