The CDC budget shows an increase, not a decrease. I don’t know where IDSA got their number from.

2011 funds include $155.2 million for the emerging infectious disease budget line, an increase of $18.9 million above the FY 2010 Omnibus

They may be talking about the reduction in $86.9 million in specific spending on various infectious diseases, but all of those have reasons for it. It’s in the CDC budget, which I’ve linked already. Here it is again.
