- BACKGROUND. Often, information directed a topic, can be dispersed in different publications that are not necessarily recounted to his own speciality. It's frequent that the specialists come to a certain spectrum of publications, in the supposition they will be sufficient to find the most relevant studies. Nevertheless, frequently exists very valuable dispersed information in other journals that do not coincide with those that habitually the investigator uses. In the present case, the best information has tried to locate on apoptosis, the cellular programmed death and we can see that is possible to study the cellular programmed death from the Parasitology. METHOD. To indentify relevant articles Medline and the Web of knowledge were used Thematic classification was made in journals related to Chagas's disease, with special interest in the subfields of the biochemistry, parasitology, microbiology, and the biophysics. The analysis of cites is applied in relation to the size of the publication and the articles length published. And corroborated the validity of the bibliometrics methodology considering the results that are obtained applieding Bradford's law of dispersion of the information. RESULTS. Results indicate that journals associated with cellular death aspects in Chagas's disease,suggest an inversion of the historical relation between biochemistry and parasitology. Biochemistry Journals are 20 % of the set but they attract 57 % of the cites, whereas them of parasitología 30 % though they answer for 23 % of the cites. Whereas the first five head-boards relative to the process of cellular death are publications of international publishing, the first five titles about Chagas's disease are Brazilian or Argentine, and international magazines of tropical medicine. The analysis of two parameters that index the scientific interest of the journals and of the articles that they publish, is deduced the significant interest of the informative content of "Nature Reviews Microbiology" and the supremacy of "Parasitology Today" and too tha the the perspective interdisciplinary of "Molecular and Biochemical Parasitology" is not relevant. CONCLUSIONS. A discussion of the law of Bradford's informative dispersion suggests that the rapid and vigorous growth of the knowledge as for Chagas's disease does that articles of interest about the topic appear in distant magazines of the big centers of publishing production. Whereas when there is focused this phase of rapid scientific growth in the question of the apoptosis a great part of the significant literature centers in a relatively high proportion of journals without relation with the countries where the disease has major incident.
