Summary
Chapter 6 traces the global repercussions of the aftosa campaign, particularly its effects on new US efforts to control animal disease across the Americas and Europe for economic and military purposes. As such, the story helps to underline the multilateral character of Latin America's Cold War, and the ecological contexts that shaped it.
