Producing knowledge about tropical fevers in the andes: Preventive inoculations and yellow fever in Colombia, 1880-1890

This paper analyses the emergence of yellow fever as a distinct disease in Colombia in the 1880s. Originally considered a variety of periodic paludic fever, confined to coastlines and warm river valleys, yellow fever was redefined by Colombian doctors over a period of less than ten years, as a disti...
