Abstract


This article analyzes the sanitary program unfolded in Catalonia, in order to eradicate paludism, by means of growing rice without floods. Since fevers were attributed to rice plantations, the elimination of this practice implied a miasmatic interpretation of the disease. This interpretation had some agronomic repercussions, which were assumed as the solution for a disease whose origin and transmission were unknown.
