Abstract (English): Introduction: Ticks are of great medical and veterinary importance. Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF) is a highly lethal disease that can be prevented and treated. Objective: To analyze determinants of KAP (knowledge, attitudes, practices) regarding tick exposure and their association with household characteristics in a region with high prevalence of rickettsiosis transmitted by the tick Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in Sonora, Mexico, using stratified random sampling of 228 households in high-incidence areas. A 30-item questionnaire assessed KAP on vector-borne diseases, employing dichotomous, categorical, and Likert scale responses. The chi-square test evaluated associations between variables (p<0.05 significance). Data analysis was performed using IBM® SPSS Statistics software. Results: The median age of household representatives was 36.9 years; 66.0% were women. Higher levels of knowledge about tick-borne diseases, preventive measures, symptoms, and greater motivation to avoid ticks correlated with educational level (p<0.001), occupation (p=0.001), attitudes and practices like the frequency of dogs entering households (p=0.005), prior tick findings on dogs (p=0.030), fumigation practices (p=0.017), and higher perceived risk of tick bites (p=0.023). Conclusion: A limited understanding of tick-related risks highlights gaps in KAP, reflecting insufficient individual awareness and systemic public health education failures. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
Abstract (Spanish): Introducción: Las garrapatas tienen gran importancia médica y veterinaria. La fiebre manchada de las Montañas Rocosas (FMMR) es una enfermedad altamente letal que puede prevenirse y tratarse. Objetivo: Analizar los determinantes del conocimiento, actitudes y prácticas (CAP) sobre la exposición a garrapatas y su asociación con las características de las viviendas en una región con alta prevalencia de rickettsiosis transmitida por la garrapata Rhipicephalus sanguineus. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio transversal en Sonora, México, mediante muestreo aleatorio estratificado en 228 viviendas ubicadas en áreas de alta incidencia. Se aplicó un cuestionario de 30 ítems para evaluar el CAP sobre enfermedades transmitidas por vectores, utilizando respuestas dicotómicas, categóricas y escalas de Likert. La prueba chi-cuadrada evaluó las asociaciones entre variables (significancia p<0.05). Análisis de datos fue realizado utilizando el software estadístico IBM® SPSS. Resultados: La media de edad de los representantes de las viviendas fue de 36.9 años; el 66.0% eran mujeres. Niveles más altos de conocimiento sobre enfermedades transmitidas por garrapatas, medidas preventivas, síntomas y mayor motivación para evitar las garrapatas se asociaron con el nivel educativo (p<0.001), ocupación (p=0.001), actitudes y prácticas como la frecuencia de entrada de perros al hogar (p=0.005), hallazgos previos de garrapatas en perros (p=0.030), prácticas de fumigación (p=0.017) y una mayor percepción del riesgo de picaduras de garrapatas (p=0.023). Conclusión: La comprensión limitada de los riesgos relacionados con las garrapatas pone de manifiesto las brechas en los CAP, reflejando insuficiencia tanto en la conciencia individual como en la educación en salud pública.
