The presence of parasitic diseases in canines is very frequent, even more so in abandoned or stray animals, due to the difficulty of controlling them, it is important to know and identify parasitic diseases since each one has different symptoms and that they affect to the canine population of a sector or community. Ticks are hematophagous ectoparasites of amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals, transmitting important diseases and the most common in canines such as: babesia, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, Lyme disease, these diseases produce common gastrointestinal, cardiopulmonary, skeletal muscle, neuronal, among the main ones, some of the diseases that are produced by contagion through tick bites are serious, even fatal. From a health perspective, their importance lies in the fact that they can act as vectors of pathogenic microorganisms such as protozoa, rickettsiae, spirochetes and viruses that affect domestic animals and man, in addition to their potential to cause toxicosis, paralysis, irritation and allergy to their hosts. This research will allow the implementation of control strategies for this infection, which additionally represents a risk of contagion for other canines and can also be a risk for public health.The presence of parasitic diseases in canines is very frequent, even more so in abandoned or stray animals, due to the difficulty of controlling them, it is important to know and identify parasitic diseases since each one has different symptoms and that they affect to the canine population of a sector or community.

Las garrapatas son ectoparásitos hematófagos de anfibios, reptiles, aves y mamíferos, transmitiendo enfermedades importantes y las más comunes en caninos como son: babesia, ehrlichiosis, anaplasmosis, enfermedad de Lyme, estas enfermedades producen afecciones comunes de tipo gastrointestinal, cardiopulmonar, musculo esquelético, neuronal, entre las principales, algunas de las enfermedades que se producen por el contagio mediante picadura de garrapatas son graves, incluso mortales. Desde una perspectiva sanitaria, su importancia radica en que pueden actuar como vectores de microorganismos patógenos como protozoos, rickettsias, espiroquetas y virus que afectan a los animales domésticos y al hombre, además de su potencial para provocar toxicosis, parálisis, irritación y alergia a sus hospedadores. Esta investigación permitirá implementar estrategias de control para esta infección que adicionalmente representa un riesgo de contagio para otros caninos y también puede ser un riego para la salud pública.
