The emergence of the idea of tropical disease is part of the legacy of European empire-building in places such as Brazil. Early European witnesses in the tropics believed those latitudes to be exceptionally healthy, almost a terrestrial paradise. But by the end of the 1700s opinion had changed to a view of tropical environments as naturally debilitating.
