This paper explores the politics of field research affecting the investigation of an unknown fatal disease (kuru) that afflicted the Fore people of the Eastern Highlands of New Guinea.

At the centre of the political jostling was the chauvinistic resentment of Australian scientists over the presence and activities of an American researc…
