title: [Brazil and tropical medicine].
abstract: Endemic infectious diseases still constitute a threat to Latin American countries. In view of this, research on tropical medicine should be encouraged, particularly in countries like Brazil where this kind of scientific investigation was historically highly early in this century. It is suggested that more resources should be made available to stimulate such studies and the publication in English, Portuguese and Spanish.
