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. 410 0$aScience in history (Cambridge University Press) 517 3 $aEmpire, medicine and nonhumans in British India, 1820-1909 606 $aMalaria$zIndia$xHistory$y19th century 606 $aMalaria$zIndia$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aImperialism$zIndia 606 $aMalaria$xhistory 606 $aColonialism$xhistory 606 $aQuinine$xhistory 606 $aCinchona 606 $aMosquito Vectors 610 $aMalaria 610 $adisease 610 $anineteenth century 610 $aCinchona 610 $aPresidencies and provinces of British India 610 $aQuinine 615 0$aMalaria$xHistory 615 0$aMalaria$xHistory 615 0$aImperialism 615 12$aMalaria$xhistory. 615 22$aColonialism$xhistory. 615 22$aQuinine$xhistory. 615 22$aCinchona. 615 22$aMosquito Vectors. 676 $a616.936200954 700 $aDeb Roy$b Rohan$0899267 801 0$bUkMaJRU 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910476792803321 996 $aMalarial subjects$92009137 997 $aUNINA
