“…Between 1907-1915, physicians associated with the Rondon Commission combated malaria in the Sertão. The commission was a Brazilian military operation in northeastern Brazil that was to extend telegraph lines from Cuiabá to Santo António de Madeira and then Manaus ( Caser & Sá 2011 ). The semiarid Sertão had river valleys that annually flooded, which allowed some crops to grow, but also provided breeding ground for vectors ( Packard & Gadelha 1997 , Packard 2007 , Caser & Sá 2011) .…”

“…Physicians suggested that geography and climate were conducive to reproduction of mosquitoes and the development of diseases including malaria. They blamed the high number of cases on the rubber tappers that lived in poor housing, ate poorly, abused alcohol, overworked and spent long periods in swamps ( Caser & Sá 2011 ).…”

“…Furthermore, land near the camp would be drained, pools of water filled and mosquito larvae destroyed. Those infected with malaria were to be isolated at the infirmary, which in turn would be brick structures, built on high ground and as far from mosquitoes as possible ( Caser & Sá 2011 ).…”

“…There was little health care outside the camps and the available quinine was expensive and adulterated. Ninety percent of the workers had been infected with malaria and 75% of those had been infected with P. falciparum ( Deane 1988 , Agudelo 1990 , Stepan 2003 , Benchimol & Silva 2008 , Caser & Sá 2011) .…”

Malaria has always been an important public health problem in Brazil. The early history of Brazilian malaria and its control was powered by colonisation by Europeans and the forced relocation of Africans as slaves. Internal migration brought malaria to many regions in Brazil where, given suitableAnopheles mosquito vectors, it thrived. Almost from the start, officials recognised the problem malaria presented to economic development, but early control efforts were hampered by still developing public health control and ignorance of the underlying biology and ecology of malaria. Multiple regional and national malaria control efforts have been attempted with varying success. At present, the Amazon Basin accounts for 99% of Brazil’s reported malaria cases with regional increases in incidence often associated with large scale public works or migration. Here, we provide an exhaustive summary of primary literature in English, Spanish and Portuguese regarding Brazilian malaria control. Our goal was not to interpret the history of Brazilian malaria control from a particular political or theoretical perspective, but rather to provide a straightforward, chronological narrative of the events that have transpired in Brazil over the past 200 years and identify common themes.

Resumo: O artigo analisa o conhecimento médico produzido sobre a região norte de Mato Grosso pelos médicos da Comissão Construtora de Linhas Telegráficas de Mato Grosso ao Amazonas, conhecida como Comissão Rondon (1907)(1908)(1909)(1910)(1911)(1912)(1913)(1914)(1915). No início do século XX, essa região era pouco conhecida em termos geográficos, antropológicos e, especialmente, epidemiológicos. Um dos objetivos da Comissão era explorar cientificamente os locais por onde o fio telegráfico passaria. Desse modo, a análise do papel do conhecimento das populações sobre as localidades visitadas no processo de produção de conhecimento médico serve de peça fundamental neste estudo. O argumento central deste artigo é que as relações mantidas entre médicos e habitantes locais produziram importantes e ricas descrições sobre aspectos epidemiológicos e diversas crenças sobre saúde, doença e práticas de cura entre as populações do noroeste do país, que tiveram impacto nas ações médico-sanitárias da Comissão e nos serviços de montagem da infraestrutura do telégrafo por fio.Palavras-chave: Comissão Rondon. Medicina tropical. Conhecimento popular. Malária. Mato Grosso. Rondônia. Abstract:The article analyzes the medical knowledge on the northern State of Mato Grosso, in Brazil, produced by doctors of the Comissão Construtora de Linhas Telegráficas de Mato Grosso ao Amazonas, known as the Rondon Commission (1907)(1908)(1909)(1910)(1911)(1912)(1913)(1914)(1915). In the early 20 th century, this region was poorly known in geographical, anthropological and especially epidemiological aspects. The Commission should explore scientifically the places where the telegraph wire would be installed. Thus, the article highlights the role of local knowledge on the places visited by the Commission in the production of medical knowledge. We argue that the relationship between doctors and inhabitants have produced important and rich descriptions on epidemiological aspects and different beliefs about health, illness and healing practices among the populations, which impacted medical and sanitary actions of the Commission and the assembly of the infrastructure of telegraph wires.

Este artigo é um estudo de caso sobre a construção da Política Nacional de Atenção à Saúde dos Povos Indígenas (PNASPI), em que se reconstitui processos causais e realiza inferências descritivas concernentes à entrada da saúde indígena na agenda governamental como política pública do Estado brasileiro. Os modelos teóricos-analíticos que embasaram este artigo são o Modelo de Múltiplos Fluxos, de John W. Kingdon, e o Modelo do Equilíbrio Pontuado, desenvolvido por James L. True, Bryan D. Jones e Frank R. Baumgartner. A pesquisa que lhe deu origem foi empreendida por meio da análise documental, bibliográfica e de entrevistas. São resultados deste artigo a descrição do processo pelo qual a saúde dos povos indígenas tornou-se uma política pública, a identificação das instituições e dos atores envolvidos, a construção da imagem da política de saúde diferenciada aos povos indígenas bem como as condições políticas, o contexto histórico e o “clima” nacional predominantes. Conclui-se que a constituição da PNASPI é decorrente da participação efetiva dos povos indígenas nos conselhos e conferências de saúde e nas diferentes formas de mobilizações reivindicatórias. Além disso, as mudanças institucionais ora têm sido no sentido de dar concretude à proposta de política diferenciada para os indígenas ora, no sentido oposto, o de promover a integração dos povos ao restante da sociedade brasileira, ignorando a multiculturalidade brasileira.
