The six most active countries that presented over 100 abstracts, in that period,
traced different trajectories (Table 1.2, Fig. 1.2). The leadership of Argentina until
1992, supported by the Southern Cone countries, allowed the consolidation of that
area of knowledge and influenced generations of new scientists. After 1994, there was
a hegemony alternation. A profusion of Non-Governmental Organizations (NGOs)
and an efficient system of academic post-graduate studies allowed Brazil to qualify
young scientists, renew the team of researchers and strengthen research programs and
laboratories already established. Mexico developed a different trajectory since it had
an Independent Society, but promoted the union of these initiatives in Merida (2006).
