Controlling kala azar in Assam Article Swipe
By exploring the state responses to kala azar in Assam during the early twentieth century, this review examines how, following the discovery of the parasite, efforts to halt the disease took on new forms, as questions about its communicability remained unresolved. To control the spread of kala azar, segregation policies were implemented as an experiment in the tea plantations and specific districts. In these tea plantations, coercive segregation was enforced, while camps were established in a few villages to relocate the affected families. Segregation proved only a partial solution, leading to the introduction of antimony tartrate injections administered by lower-ranking surgeons and, later, to the establishment of the first Kala Azar Hospital in Nazira.
