Adoptar medidas urgentes para combatir el cambio climático y sus efectosFiguras, tablasLas garrapatas son ectoparásitos con hematofagia obligada, actualmente se agrupan en las familias: Argasidae (221 especies), Ixodidae (786 especies), y Nuttalliellidae (una especie). En Colombia, se ha documentado la presencia de 57 especies, de las cuales 42 corresponden a garrapatas duras (familia Ixodidae) y 15 a garrapatas blandas (familia Argasidae). Las garrapatas duras incluyen las especies de mayor relevancia en la transmisión de agentes patógenos, como bacterias, protozoos y virus, y también se han asociado con nematodos. En particular, las garrapatas del género Amblyomma comprenden el mayor número de especies en la región neotropical y son de gran importancia en salud humana y animal, debido a la diversidad de patógenos que transmiten a una amplia variedad de vertebrados, incluidos los humanos. En el presente estudio, se establecieron nuevas asociaciones entre garrapatas y vertebrados, así como la caracterización morfológica y molecular de especies involucradas en las nuevas asociaciones de tres (3) regiones naturales de Colombia. Los análisis morfológicos permitieron identificar a Amblyomma crassum, Amblyomma dissimile, Amblyomma mixtum y Amblyomma multipunctum y establecer nuevas asociaciones con reptiles, como Iguana iguana, Podocnemis vogli, Tupinambis teguixin, así como con mamíferos que incluyen a Andinocervus rufinus, Dasyprocta fuliginosa, Lycalopex culpaeus y Homo sapiens. A. multipunctum, una especie carente de descripción del estadio larval, por lo cual fue seleccionada y su asignación taxonómica fue corroborada través de la amplificación parcial del gen mitocondrial 16S ARNr. Es así, que los resultados obtenidos en la presente investigación son relevantes en el contexto de una sola salud, al permitir establecer nuevas asociaciones (garrapata - hospedero), así como describir el estado larval de A. multipunctum, y la infestación accidental por parte de esta especie en humanos, lo que puede denotar un posible comportamiento antropofílico.Ticks are ectoparasites with obligatory hematophagy and are currently grouped into the families: Argasidae (221 species), Ixodidae (786 species), and Nuttalliellidae (one species). In Colombia, the presence of 57 species has been documented, of which 42 correspond to hard ticks (family Ixodidae) and 15 to soft ticks (family Argasidae). Hard ticks include the species of greatest relevance in the transmission of pathogenic agents, such as bacteria, protozoa, and viruses, and they have also been associated with nematodes. In particular, ticks of the genus Amblyomma comprise the largest number of species in the Neotropical region and are of great importance in human and animal health due to the diversity of pathogens they transmit to a wide variety of vertebrates, including humans. In the present study, new associations between ticks and vertebrates were established, as well as the morphological and molecular characterization of species involved in these new associations from three (3) natural regions of Colombia. Morphological analyses allowed the identification of Amblyomma crassum, Amblyomma dissimile, Amblyomma mixtum, and Amblyomma multipunctum, and the establishment of new associations with reptiles such as Iguana iguana, Podocnemis vogli, and Tupinambis teguixin, as well as with mammals including Andinocervus rufinus, Dasyprocta fuliginosa, Lycalopex culpaeus, and Homo sapiens. A. multipunctum, a species lacking a description of the larval stage, was selected, and its taxonomic assignment was corroborated through partial amplification of the mitochondrial 16S rRNA gene. Thus, the results obtained in this study are relevant in the context of One Health, as they allow the establishment of new associations (tick–host), as well as the description of the larval stage of A. multipunctum, and the accidental infestation of humans by this species, which may indicate a possible anthropophilic behavior.Introducción -- Objetivos -- Objetivo general -- Objetivos específicos -- Materiales y métodos -- Área de estudio -- Identificación morfológica de garrapatas -- Asociaciones entre garrapatas-hospederos -- Identificación molecular de garrapatas -- Análisis filogenético -- Resultados -- Identificación morfológica de garrapatas y su asociación con hospederos -- Identificación morfológica y molecular de Amblyomma multipunctum Neumann, 1899 -- Descripción del estado larval de Amblyomma multipunctum Neumann, 1899 -- Discusión -- Identificación morfológica de Amblyomma y su asociación con sus hospederos -- Identificación morfológica y molecular de A. multipunctum -- Descripción del estado larval de A. multipunctum -- Conclusiones -- Anexos -- Anexo A.
