This paper seeks to analyze the main actions and strategies used by colonial and metropolitan authorities, towards the impacts caused by three specific epidemics that struck the Grão-Pará captaincy, in the second half of the eighteenth century. In an exercise to discuss how these strategies were born and forged out of the power exchanges across the Atlantic as well as the Grão-Pará internal context.
