RESUMEN
El primer informe en el hemisferio occidental sobre el Angiostrongylus cantonensis, causante de la meningoencefalitis eosinofílica, se realizó en Cuba en 1981. A lo largo de 25 años, muchos investigadores cubanos han estudiado, tanto al parásito, como la enfermedad que produce en el hombre. Con el objetivo de analizar el impacto científico de estos aportes, se revisaron las bases de datos Medline (PubMed), ScieELO, Revistas Médicas Cubanas, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar y WOSCU. Los 37 artículos identificados constituyen una prueba del aporte de nuestros investigadores al conocimiento universal de esta parasitosis emergente en nuestro hemisferio.
ABSTRACT
The first report in the Western Hemisphere of Angiostrongylus cantonensis, which causes eosinophilic meningoencephalitis, was made in Cuba, in 1981. For 25 years, several Cuban researchers have studied the parasite and the disease it produces in human beings. In order to analyse the scientific impact of these contributions, Medline (PubMed), ScieELO, Revistas Médicas Cubanas, Web of Science, Scopus, Google Scholar y WOSCU databases, were reviewed. The 37 papers found are a proof of the contributions or our researchers to the universal knowledge of this emerging parasitosis in our hemisphere.
