Abstract

El presente trabajo analiza las epidemias de fiebre amarilla que azotaron el sur de España durante el siglo xviii y las primeras décadas del siglo xix. Destaca la vinculación de la fiebre amarilla con el desarrollo del sistema comercial atlántico de la época, así como su influencia en las reformas sanitarias e higiénicas de los años siguientes. Los resultados muestran cómo las recomendaciones de los expertos, unidas a la experiencia de brotes anteriores, incentivaron estrategias para reducir la exposición al patógeno, entre las que destacó la huida de las poblaciones infectadas. La desigualdad en la capacidad para evitar el contagio tuvo como consecuencia una mayor letalidad de la enfermedad entre las clases socioeconómicas menos privilegiadas. KEY Classification-JEL: N33; I14; I18; J18
