The aim of this paper is to examine historically the alternative between control and eradication of the infectious diseases, starting with the idea of eradication itself, a result of the Pasteurian revolution. The eradication of malaria in Italy is taken as a case study. Through an extensive use of the archival sources, the alternative between control and eradication is analysed for the first years of the Sardinian Project, directed by the Rockefeller Foundation, that resulted in the eradication of malaria in Sardinia. This program is compared with the different program, grounded in the Italian malariological tradition, that in the same years carried out the eradication of malaria in the rest of Italy.
本文旨在从历史角度审视传染病控制与根除之间的抉择，始于根除这一理念本身，它是巴斯德革命的成果。以意大利疟疾根除为例进行研究。通过大量运用档案资料，分析了由洛克菲勒基金会主导的撒丁岛项目最初几年控制与根除之间的抉择，该项目最终在撒丁岛根除了疟疾。将此项目与基于意大利疟疾学传统、同期在意大利其他地区开展疟疾根除工作的不同项目进行了比较。
