Traditionally, the focus has been on , the parasite that causes the most severe form of the disease in Africa. However, in the last twenty years, the parasite, responsible for a large number of cases in Latin America, the Middle East, South and Southeast Asia, the Horn of Africa, and Oceania, has also generated enormous interest due, among other things, to the published evidence that it can cause severe malaria. : In this paper, the international scientific publication on malaria and has been analyzed using the Scopus database to try to define global trends in this field of study. : It has been shown that events such as the emergence of resistance to certain drugs can break a trend. The important role of non-malaria-endemic countries such as the USA or Switzerland in malaria research is also evident. : International cooperation will be essential for the eradication of the disease. Moreover, in this sense, the general vision given by the bibliometric analysis of malaria caused by is fundamental to paint the picture regarding the current situation and encourage international cooperation and control efforts.
