520    This book explores the links among ecology, disease, and 
       international politics in the context of the Greater 
       Caribbean - the landscapes lying between Suriname and the 
       Chesapeake - in the seventeenth through early twentieth 
       centuries. Ecological changes made these landscapes 
       especially suitable for the vector mosquitoes of yellow 
       fever and malaria, and these diseases wrought systematic 
       havoc among armies and would-be settlers. Because yellow 
       fever confers immunity on survivors of the disease, and 
       because malaria confers resistance, these diseases played 
       partisan roles in the struggles for empire and revolution,
       attacking some populations more severely than others.
