Geographic Terms: VENEZUELA
Abstract (English): The article focuses on the study of infections caused by Ehrlichia spp., Anaplasma spp., and Babesia spp. transmitted by ticks in Puerto Ordaz, Bolívar state, Venezuela. Microscopy was used as the main diagnostic method due to resource limitations for molecular and serological tests, with trained personnel and external validation of the results. The difficulties in differentiating these infections from other blood microorganisms are highlighted, as well as the importance of considering coinfections, which are common in ticks and potentially in humans. The study is cross-sectional and exploratory, so its findings are preliminary and require confirmation through additional techniques. Furthermore, the need to better characterize the diversity of ticks in Venezuela and their role in transmitting these pathogenic agents is noted. [Extracted from the article]
Abstract (Spanish): El artículo se centra en el estudio de infecciones por Ehrlichia spp., Anaplasma spp. y Babesia spp. transmitidas por garrapatas en Puerto Ordaz, estado Bolívar, Venezuela. Se utilizó la microscopía como método diagnóstico principal debido a limitaciones de recursos para pruebas moleculares y serológicas, con personal capacitado y validación externa de los resultados. Se destacan las dificultades para diferenciar estas infecciones de otros microorganismos sanguíneos y la importancia de considerar coinfecciones, frecuentes en garrapatas y potencialmente en humanos. El estudio es transversal y exploratorio, por lo que sus hallazgos son preliminares y requieren confirmación mediante técnicas adicionales. Además, se señala la necesidad de caracterizar mejor la diversidad de garrapatas en Venezuela y su papel en la transmisión de estos agentes patógenos. [Extracted from the article]
