Rabies constituted a point of cultural tension and divergence over disease in late nineteenth-century, post-conquest Madagascar. The Pasteur Institute and colonial authorities ascribed an extraordinary importance to rabies, given the means at their disposal, and given the other epidemiological challenges facing them. Local peoples, in turn, met this expertise with some trepidation, and in some cases, outright defiance. This article considers, in turn, colonial health priorities, connections between Malagasy cures and Pasteurian remedies, as well as issues of accommodation, resistance and rumour in a colonial context.

For all that is known of the infamous “Madagascar Plan” to send European Jews to the Indian Ocean, both its origins and its dénouement remain shrouded in mystery. On the basis of primary research in archives and libraries in Madagascar, the author of this article suggests that the Madagascar Plan rested upon a widely held belief that the Malagasy claimed a distant Jewish ancestry. He then shows how local authorities, contexts, and actors contributed to the demise of the project in the 1930s.

... As such, French Pasteurian scientists prescribed much heavier doses of vaccine in Madagascar than was normally the case elsewhere. Finally, and more importantly, the Malagasy people reacted to Pasteurian science using indigenous beliefs, local taboos about dogs and rabies, and at times resorting to local cures (Jennings 2009). ...

The League of Nations' Nansen Office received numerous proposals for such schemes. ...
