520 _aThis chapter investigates the setting up of a network of lazarettos along the southern and eastern littorals of the Mediterranean during the nineteenth century. The fundamental thesis is that these lazarettos, constructed and frequently directed by Europeans, sustained the expansion of Western colonialism in the region. Starting with an investigation of the workings of the first Sanitary Councils - in North Africa and Ottoman-ruled ports - which preceded the International Sanitary Conferences, the study then goes on to show how maritime quarantine catered for the European powers' commercial, shipping and imperial interests in the region. By examining the regulations and the actual practices of disinfection adopted in these lazarettos, this chapter also shows how these institutions constructed and/or consolidated stereotypes of the 'Muslim Arab' as a 'threatening contagious body.'
