| Abstract | The agents of the genus Babesia (Piroplasma: Babesiidae) are hemoparasites protozoa transmitted by ticks of the family Ixodidae during blood meal. In Colombia, the few studies of ticks, have focused on aspects of pest control in veterinary medicine and its impact on livestock, with very few contributions to the study of these ectoparasites as potential vectors of zoonotic diseases. In this paper, distribution models for tick species as R. (Boophilus) microplus, D. nitens, and R. sanguineus to estimate risk areas ixodológico in the Caribbean region were created. This distribution modeling was built by algorithms such as Maximum Entropy, and implemented in 3.3.3k Maxent program, taking the geographical points where there has been the presence of tick species and environmental variables to describe the ecological space used by each of them. All projections geographic distribution models generated were processed in QGIS 2.8.2 * Estudiante de Maestría en Biología, Universidad de Sucre.
