Abstract
In this paper, we analyze how during Guzman Blanco governmental periods epidemic cycles generated a sense of distrust and political instability. The misinterpretation form governmental authorities lead to think that oppositionists promoted the closure of ports, a halt on exchange and limitations to the access to economic resources coming from foreign trade with the purpose of obtain political benefits. To avoid oppositionists politically use epidemics cycles, governmental action were addressed to prevent rumors and to put down any political action related to this matter. Guzman government also efficiently carried out an information policy from consular offices aimed to take advantage from up-to-date information with respect to vessels movements and their internal health situation. Moreover, a set of highly effective national and international preventative measure were adopted in order to control and manage epidemic cycles.

Summary
En este artículo se analiza cómo durante el guzmancismo, los ciclos epidémicos ocasionaban en el gobierno un ambiente de desconfianza y tensión política, porque de manera equivocada se pensaba que eran empleados por algunos opositores para incidir en el cierre de los puertos, paralizar el intercambio, cortar el flujo de recursos económicos provenientes del comercio exterior y obtener así beneficios políticos. Internamente, la agudización de las desigualdades como consecuencia de la nueva distribución del poder, ahondó la diferencia de los grupos gobernantes con quienes se sentían desplazados de las oportunidades de mando y enriquecimiento, caudillos militares y civiles que eran una continua amenaza para la estabilidad y seguridad nacional. Las amenazas internas no eran tan sólo políticas, económicas o militares; también existían aquellas directamente relacionadas con accidentes y calamidades en el área de la salud pública, específicamente en el grupo de enfermedades infecciosas y parasitarias que, por sus efectos sociales y económicos (epidemias), representaron siempre una amenaza de importancia para los gobiernos, cuando eran utilizadas por la oposición para esparcir rumores y debilitar las bases del poder. El pronóstico para los gobernantes era la acentuación de la inestabilidad y el riesgo de ser expulsados del poder
