Railroads, disease, and tropical medicine in Brazil under the First Republic<\/a>\u00a0<\/b>(HCSM\u00a0vol.15\u00a0no.3\u00a0 July\/Sept.\u00a02008),\u00a0one of our most cited articles, explores the impact of malaria on infrastructure works from the 1890s to the 1920s.<\/p>\n

The paper written by Jaime Benchimol and Andr\u00e9 Felipe C\u00e2ndido da Silva, our former and current science editors,\u00a0shows how\u00a0railways\u00a0supported the development of tropical medicine in the First Republic.<\/p>\n

It argues that scientists\u00a0designated\u00a0to control epidemic outbreaks were not limited to conducting campaigns; they also\u00a0observed different\u00a0aspects of the disease, including its relations to hosts and the environment, thus contributing to the production of new knowledge of malaria.<\/p>\n

According to the paper, as the railroads penetrated the interior and tied the national territory together, they enjoyed the benefit of relatively successful sanitation endeavors. At the same time, they prompted valuable research that helped to shape tropical medicine.<\/p>\n
