It was associated with a variety of frailties far beyond fevers, ranging from idiocy to impotence. And yet, it was not a self-contained category. The reconsolidation of malaria as a diagnostic category during this period happened within a wider context in which cinchona plants and their most valuable extract, quinine, were reinforced as objects of natural knowledge and social control. In India, the exigencies and apparatuses of British imperial rule occasioned the close interactions between these histories. In the process, British imperial rule became entangled with a network of nonhumans that included, apart from cinchona plants and the drug quinine, a range of objects described as malarial, as well as mosquitoes. Malarial Subjects explores this history of the co-constitution of a cure and disease, of British colonial rule and nonhumans, and of science, medicine and empire. 542 |fCreative Commons Open Access license CC-BY-NC-ND4.0 588 0 Online resource; title from electronic title page (Cambridge Core, viewed May 31, 2018). 590 Cambridge University Press|bCambridge Open Access Books 648 7 1800-1999|2fast 650 0 Malaria|zIndia|xHistory|y19th century. 650 0 Malaria|zIndia|xHistory|y20th century. 650 7 Malaria.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01006343 650 12 Malaria|xhistory. 651 2 India. 650 22 Colonialism|xhistory. 650 22 Quinine|xhistory. 650 22 Cinchona. 650 22 Mosquito Vectors. 650 22 History, 19th Century. 650 22 History, 20th Century. 651 7 India.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01210276 655 7 History.|2fast|0(OCoLC)fst01411628 776 08 |iPrint version:|aDeb Roy, Rohan.|tMalarial subjects. |dCambridge, United Kingdom : Cambridge University Press, 2017|z9781107172364|w(OCoLC)990842766 830 0 Science in history (Cambridge University Press) 914 on1004620842 994 92|bSTJ
