This paper analyzes the origins, methods, and hidden objectives of the antimalarial campaigns carried out by the Rockefeller Foundation in Latin America. These campaigns are examined in the context of the imperialist domination of Latin America over the course of this century. The close relationship between prevailing economic, political, and military priorities and the thrust of the Foundation's work in the field of malaria is detailed. In spite of its relatively small financial investment in malaria research and eradication, the Rockefeller Foundation was able to reap enormous benefits from its work in this area. Not only was the Foundation able to increase the profit margins of the Rockefeller empire by ameliorating some of the dire economic consequences of malaria, but also it was able to use its participation to penetrate the public health field and consolidate the hegemony of scientific medicine. It is concluded that the Rockefeller Foundation's attention to the malaria problem reflected more than mere philanthropic concern.
本文分析了洛克菲勒基金会在拉丁美洲开展的抗疟运动的起源、方法和隐藏目的。这些运动是在本世纪拉丁美洲遭受帝国主义统治的背景下进行考察的。文中详细阐述了当时盛行的经济、政治和军事优先事项与该基金会在疟疾领域工作重点之间的密切关系。尽管洛克菲勒基金会在疟疾研究和根除方面的财政投资相对较少，但它却能从该领域的工作中收获巨大利益。该基金会不仅通过缓解疟疾造成的一些严重经济后果来提高洛克菲勒帝国的利润率，还利用其参与渗透到公共卫生领域并巩固科学医学的霸权地位。得出的结论是，洛克菲勒基金会对疟疾问题的关注不仅仅反映了单纯的慈善关切。
