International audience Threats in the period 2005 to 2007of an H5N1 flue pandemic, and the spread in 2009 of the H1N1 pandemic, have contributed to the construction of a new field of debate concerning intellectual property and access to treatment. Discussions on the flue epidemics are now part of the new biopolicy that emerged at the end of the 1990s in the framework of health policies aimed at combating the Aids epidemic (Moatti et al, 2003, Cassier and Correa, 2009) and of conflicts over the appropriation of biological resources (Bellivier and Noiville, 2009).
