| description | Rabies, historically called hydrophobia, is a type of zoonosis caused by Lyssavirus, of the Rhabdoviridae family. It is an infectious disease that has caused concern since ancient times, due to the fear that it has produced, and which did not cease despite the discovery of a vaccine in 1885. The main objective of this article is the study of this disease in the context of Hispanic America, with its contrasts with respect to the European world, in its origin and development, as well as its medical and superstitious solutions. Therefore, it is of interest, in addition to the manifestations of the disease, the social and cultural aspects that it generated, including, in reference to criollismo, the promotion of purely American remedies. Consequently, a selective bibliography was used and American and Spanish libraries, newspaper libraries and archives were consulted from which were obtained the necessary materials to reach some conclusions that nuance what has already been stated, especially by experimental scientists, paying attention to the influence that the disease had, not only on the individual, but also on the society around them, and on the powers of the state, which was forced to make decisions in accordance with the problem. |

It is an infectious disease that has caused concern since ancient times, due to the fear that it has produced, and which did not cease despite the discovery of a vaccine in 1885. The main objective of this article is the study of this disease in the context of Hispanic America, with its contrasts with respect to the European world, in its origin and development, as well as its medical and superstitious solutions. Therefore, it is of interest, in addition to the manifestations of the disease, the social and cultural aspects that it generated, including, in reference to criollismo, the promotion of purely American remedies. Consequently, a selective bibliography was used and American and Spanish libraries, newspaper libraries and archives were consulted from which were obtained the necessary materials to reach some conclusions that nuance what has already been stated, especially by experimental scientists, paying attention to the influence that the disease had, not only on the individual, but also on the society around them, and on the powers of the state, which was forced to make decisions in accordance with the problem. La rabia o hidrofobia es una zoonosis producida por el Lyssavirus, de la familia Rhabdoviridae. Se trata de una enfermedad infecciosa, que ha preocupado desde épocas muy antiguas, por el temor que despertaba en el hombre, y que no se extinguió ni con el descubrimiento de la vacuna en 1885. Nuestro principal objetivo es su estudio en el ámbito de la América hispana, con sus peculiaridades respecto del mundo europeo, tanto en su aparición como desarrollo y solucione médicas y supersticiosas. Por tanto, nos interesarán, además de las manifestaciones de la enfermedad, los aspectos sociales y culturales que generaba, incluso en referencia al criollismo con la promoción de remedios puramente americanos. En consecuencia hemos utilizado una bibliografía selectiva y hemos consultado, bibliotecas, hemerotecas y archivos americanos y españoles, en los que hemos obtenido los materiales necesarios para llegar a unas conclusiones en que se hacen matizaciones a lo ya dicho, especialmente por los científicos experimentales, apreciando el influjo que la enfermedad tenía no solo en el individuo, sino en la sociedad que le rodeaba y en los poderes del estado, obligados a tomar decisiones acordes con el problema. La rage ou hydrophobie est une zoonose produite par le Lyssavirus, appartenant à la famille Rhabdoviridae. Il s’agit d’une maladie infectieuse qui a inquiété l’humanité depuis longtemps et qui n’a pas disparu après l’invention du vaccin en 1885. Le but principal de cet article est d’étudier cette maladie dans l’Amérique hispanique dans ses particularités par rapport au monde européen, allant de son apparition jusqu’aux traitements médicaux et superstitieux. On s’intéressera donc aux manifestations propres à la maladie mais aussi à ses aspects sociaux et culturels, notamment à la promotion de remèdes purement américains. On a consulté des documents divers qui permettent de nuancer ce qui a été dit par les scientifiques expérimentales et qui invitent à prendre en compte l’influence de cette maladie sur l’individu et sur la société dans son ensemble, sans oublier l’État, obligé à prendre quelques décisions fondamentales en accord aux problèmes posés par la maladie.
