Scientific research on Chagas disease (EC) in Mexico has grown, but key areas like systemic, economic, and social aspects remain underrepresented, hindering public health policy. More research is needed for effective prevention and control.

Area of Science:

  • * Vector-borne diseases research.
  • * Parasitology and tropical medicine.
  • * Public health and epidemiology.

Context:

  • * Mexico faces a significant burden of Chagas disease (EC), a zoonotic illness caused by Trypanosoma cruzi.
  • * Existing research primarily focuses on entomological and clinical aspects, with limited exploration of broader societal impacts.
  • * A systematic review of Mexican research on T. cruzi, its vectors (Triatominae), and EC is crucial for identifying knowledge gaps.

Purpose:

  • * To systematically review, evaluate, and synthesize original research conducted in Mexico concerning Trypanosoma cruzi, its vectors, and Chagas disease (EC).
  • * To assess the quality and thematic distribution of published research on EC in Mexico.
  • * To identify research priorities for informing public health policy and interventions.

Summary:

  • * A PRISMA-guided review identified 221 high-quality studies from 1,410 records, with PubMed being the primary source (95%).
  • * Research publication rates increased exponentially from 1995 to 2020, with a significant rise in high-quality publications (5.3% in 1990 to 49.8% in 2020).
  • * Research on systemic, economic, anthropological, and social aspects of EC in Mexico is notably scarce (8%).

Impact:

  • * Recent growth in scientific output on Chagas disease in Mexico is evident.
  • * Significant research gaps persist in crucial areas, impeding the development of evidence-based public health policies for EC prevention, control, and patient care.
  • * Future research should prioritize underrepresented aspects to support comprehensive national strategies against Chagas disease.
