The objective of this research is the analysis and the historical-social relationships of the incidences of epidemics and infectious diseases that impacted the lives of the inhabitants of the city of Belém, the capital of Grão-Pará, during the first half of the 19th century. The relationship between economic and population development, the emergence of smallpox and yellow fever epidemics, and their relationships and implications for the economic and population development of the City of Belém are analyzed. The structure of the dissertation is composed of three chapters. The first chapter makes a brief presentation about a city of Belém and how it was a great stage of mobility, both for goods and people, due to the presence of ports. The second chapter analyzes the medical understanding of epidemics and their lines of interpretation. And the third chapter deals with the statistical measurement of those most affected by the epidemics, seeking to identify the patterns and levels of mortality during the smallpox and yellow fever epidemic attacks, more specifically. The methodology used was documentary research, and the documents were researched and made available in several collections in Belém such as: Public Archives of the State of Pará (APEP), Historical and Geographical Institute of Pará (IHGP) and Central Library of UFPA / collection of rare works and Fran Pacheco Library of the Portuguese Literary and Recreation Association.

Vida e morte escrava: um estudo sobre a mortalidade cativa na Belém oitocentista (1850-1859)
(Universidade Federal do Pará, 2024-12-13) SILVA, Mayara Cristine Mendonça da; BEZERRA NETO, José Maia; http://lattes.cnpq.br/7000143949499821
The study of health and disease is of great importance to the history of humanity, as it is closely linked to the social, economic, political, cultural and even religious context, with meanings that go beyond their biological characteristics. This study aims to analyze captive mortality in nineteenth-century Belém, based on a survey of the main causes of this mortality in the enslaved population between 1850 and 1859, a period when three epidemics occurred in the province of Pará. The aim is to identify mortality patterns among free and slave slaves, analyze the daily health of these slaves, the spread of certain diseases that ravaged the province, the reasons for their greater exposure to these diseases, and determine whether there was any public policy or initiative on the part of the masters to treat their illnesses, given that slaves constituted the main labor force. The sources used will be the burial records of the Nossa Senhora da Soledade Cemetery, reports and speeches by the presidents of the province of Pará, the work Epidemias no Pará by Arthur Vianna, the collection of laws from the period and newspaper advertisements.
