El árbol de la quina o cascarilla (Cinchona spp., Rubiaceae) es un grupo de especies dentro de la familia del café. Este grupo es originario de los Andes, los pueblos indígenas y locales usan la corteza, abundante en quinina, principalmente para fines medicinales para mejorar las fiebres. Con la invasión europea, este género jugó un papel importante social y económico para el desarrollo de los imperios europeos permitiéndoles colonizar regiones tropicales plagadas con malaria. A finales del siglo XIX, el primer cartel farmacéutico se estableció para mantener el monopolio de comercialización de quinina por empresarios de Alemania. Luego el cartel pasó a manos de compañías de los Países Bajos que fue el primer caso de colonización corporativa de la salud pública por una empresa privada. A pesar de la gran importancia biocultural para nuestros pueblos, y económica y farmac...
