    Este artigo analisa as relaçÔes entre malĂĄria e guerra, atravĂ©s das polĂ­ticas de controle da doença executadas nas bases militares norte-americanas estabelecidas no Brasil durante a Segunda Guerra Mundial. O estudo de caso das trĂȘs mais importantes bases, em BelĂ©m, Recife e Natal, mostra como a malĂĄria pode transformar-se numa questĂŁo de segurança polĂ­tico-militar. O caso de Natal permite-nos avaliar os preconceitos, desconfianças polĂ­ticas e tensĂ”es nacionalistas entre brasileiros e norte-americanos.<br>Malaria-control policies enforced at US military bases set up in Brazil during World War II serve as an example in this analysis of the associations between disease and war. Case studies of the three main US bases (located in BelĂ©m, Recife, and Natal) show how malaria can be transformed into a matter of political-military security. An examination of the Natal case allows the reader to perceive the prejudices, political mistrust, and nationalistic tensions marking relations between the Brazilians and Americans
