Distribución inusual y potencial de la garrapata común del ganado, Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus, en zonas tropicales de alta montaña de los Andes colombianos
Potential areas of distribution of the common cattle tick Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus in the Altiplano
Cundiboyacense are presented, using two algorithms of ecological niche modeling (Maxent and Classification
Trees). The algorithms were complementary, with excellent and significant returns, registering AUC (0.70 and
0.90 Maxent Classification Trees), and low values of omission errors (0.00% and 4.6% Maxent Classification
Trees). The landscape along with the presence of the host, altitude, precipitation, temperature and humidity of
the first wet quarter, were the most important variables in modeling. The north-eastern region of the Altiplano
has the best potential for the establishment of this species.
