The “Good Neighbor Policy for yellow fever”: Cold War, the Aedes aegypti Eradication Program of the United States and international cooperation in health in the Americas
Abstract:This article analyzes the implementation and development of the United States Aedes aegypti Eradication Program from the mid-1950s, an event that marked the country's adhesion to the Continental Campaign for the Eradication of Aedes aegypti, launched by the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) in 1947. This paper considers that the history of the Continental Campaign is a privileged moment for the understanding of U.S. foreign policy towards Latin America in the context of the Cold War.
