Too much micro management for me, you have to keep juggling the Fever Fetishes between scouts before they die from disease.
Use Revenants .. deck out with fetishes, set to "research", forget about them. And they don't cost you upkeep, too! Black Servants will work, too, but you won't get any additional benefit from them. But they are stealthy and wouldn't show up on a spy report (AFAIK).
