Abstract (en):
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.

Se presentan las áreas potenciales de distribución de la garrapata común del ganado Rhipicephalus (Boophilus) microplus en el altiplano cundiboyacense, Colombia, mediante el uso de dos algoritmos de modelamiento de nicho ecológico (Maxent y árboles de clasificación). Los algoritmos fueron complementarios, con rendimientos óptimos y significativos, registrando valores de AUC (0.70 Maxent y 0.90 árboles de clasificación, y bajos valores de errores omisión (0,04 % Maxent y 4,6 % árboles de clasificación). El paisaje, junto con la presencia del hospedero, la altitud, la precipitación, la temperatura y la humedad del primer trimestre húmedo, fueron las variables más relevantes en el modelamiento. La región nororiental del altiplano presenta las áreas potencialmente óptimas para el establecimiento de esta especie.
