description The article analyzes the reports generated by physicians participating in the Commission for Strategic Telegraph Lines from Mato Grosso to Amazonas, or the Rondon Commission, that laboured in these states between 1907 and 1915. The Commission had as its objective the construction of telegraph lines to the borders of Brazil with Bolivia and Peru. The construction activity was also accompanied by scientific studies for the productive occupation of the region and by the writing of medical assessments of the region. These assessments of the so called northwest hinterlands (sertões) highlighted the regions unhealthy climate and the debilitating impact of malaria. The purpose is to analyze the impact of this disease in the works of the Commission. Our hypothesis is that one of its main effects was the elaboration of more and more detailed medical studies about the possible causes of diseases in that region. // ABSTRACT IN PORTUGUESE: O artigo tem por objetivo analisar os relatórios elaborados pelos médicos que participaram da Comissão de Linhas Telegráficas Estratégicas do Mato Grosso ao Amazonas (CLTEMTA), ou Comissão Rondon, que percorreu estes estados brasileiros entre 1907 e 1915. A comissão tinha como meta a expansão do telégrafo até as fronteiras do Brasil com a Bolívia e o Peru. A atividade construtora foi acompanhada, ainda, por estudos científicos para a ocupação produtiva da região e por levantamentos médicos das localidades percorridas. Esses últimos produziram uma interpretação dos então chamados sertões do noroeste, na qual se destacava a onipresença das doenças, como a malária. A intenção é compreender o impacto provocado por esta doença nos trabalhos da CLTEMTA. Nossa hipótese é a de que um dos seus principais efeitos foi a elaboração de estudos médicos cada vez mais detalhados sobre as possíveis causas das doenças naquelas regiões.
