我所成立于1951年,原为云南省人民政府卫生厅鼠疫防治所,业务比较单一。鼠疫大流行控制后,随着卫生事业的发展,20世纪60年代初,我所与省血吸虫病防治所合并组成“云南滇西流行病防治研究所”。1965年根据省人委的批示,省血防所独立分出,我所更名为“云南省流行病防治研究所”。 Established in 1951, the institute was originally a plague control station of the Health Department of the People’s Government of Yunnan Province. The business is relatively simple. After the control of the plague pandemic, with the development of health services, in the early 1960s, our institute merged with the schistosomiasis prevention and control institute to form the “Yunnan Longxi Epidemic Disease Prevention and Control Institute”. In 1965, according to the instructions of the Provincial People’s Committee, the provincial schistosomiasis institute was independently segregated, and our institute was renamed the Yunnan Institute of Epidemiology.
