Popis: Purpose This paper aims to test the use of e-Lattes to map the Brazilian scientific output in a recent research health subject: Zika Virus. Design/methodology/approach From a set of Lattes CVs of Zika researchers registered on the Lattes Platform, we used the e-Lattes to map the Brazilian scientific response to the Zika crisis. Findings Brazilian science articulated quickly during the public health emergency of international concern (PHEIC) due to the creation of mechanisms to streamline funding of scientific research. Research limitations We did not assess any dimension of research quality, including the scientific impact and societal value. Practical implications e-Lattes can provide useful guidelines for different stakeholders in research groups from Lattes CVs of members. Originality/value The information included in Lattes CVs permits us to assess science from a broader perspective taking into account not only scientific research production but also the training of human resources and scientific collaboration.
