ABSTRACT

Chagas is the most important endemic disease in Latin America. It was progressively constructed as a relevant public issue, starting as a medical problem, focusing later on housing conditions, poverty, or vector agents. In recent decades, research has mainly focused on the parasite’s biological characterization. In the meanwhile, both Chagas disease and knowledge about it spread out geographically. We analyze the worldwide scientific production on Chagas, showing that countries’ research strategies depend on two main factors: endemicity and research traditions. This approach complements previous studies, allowing us to better understand the construction of Chagas disease as a social and scientific problem.

不同背景下的恰加斯病:全球化世界中的科学知识

摘要

恰加斯病是拉丁美洲最重要的地方病。它逐渐被构建为一个相关的公共问题,从一个医学问题开始,后来关注住房条件、贫困或媒介病原体。近几十年来,研究主要集中在寄生虫的生物学特征上。与此同时,恰加斯病和有关它的知识都在地理上传播。我们分析了世界范围内关于恰加斯的科学成果,表明各国的研究战略取决于两个主要因素:地方性和研究传统。这种方法补充了以前的研究,使我们能够更好地理解南美锥虫病作为一个社会和科学问题的构建。
