PART II - IMPERIAL MOSQUITOES
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 05 June 2012
Summary
Before yellow fever took root in the Americas, invading expeditions and settlement schemes enjoyed much greater chances of success. After it was firmly entrenched, they failed routinely amid scorching fevers. The next two chapters explain how expeditions, both of conquest and of settlement, fared in the evolving ecological and disease environments of the Greater Caribbean.
