[Schistosomiasis in Brazil after one century of research].
An attempt to evaluate the importance of scientific research on Schistosomiasis in Brazil, since 1908 until now, reveals the difficulties and uncertainties of such a task, when current criteria for measuring scientific impact are employed. However, with due respect to the contribution of international research, the data originated from Brazilian research on schistosomiasis, during almost a century, now appear sufficient for dealing with all our practical and scientific needs in this area.
