Abstract
El trabajo académico seleccionado se puede considerar como un tesoro. Es un trabajo que requiere la atención de todos aquellos investigadores que han trabajado o trabajarán en este grupo de artrópodos.
Con la exposición de este trabajo, el doctor Osorno Mesa dio ingreso a la Academia Nacional de Medicina y recibió, en esa oportunidad, los elogios del Dr. Roberto Franco quien manifestó que la comunicación “representa una de las contribuciones más valiosas a la parasitología de nuestra patria. A todos nuestros médicos y a todos los que se interesen por estos estudios debo recomendar encarecidamente este trabajo como el más completo que hasta hoy existe entre nosotros, con la convicción de que encontrarán en él la más segura y acertada guía para sus investigaciones”.
Las garrapatas en general al ser transmisoras de enfermedades a los animales y a los humanos ocupan un lugar tan importante como el de los insectos y al ser hematófagas desempeñan un papel relevante en nuestro país.
En el trabajo, inicialmente se detallan los caracteres generales de las garrapatas y posteriormente se presentan las claves para las familias Argasidae e Ixodidae del suborden Ixodoidea del orden Acari y sus respectivos géneros y especies incluyendo las descritas y halladas en Colombia y las conocidas de la República de Panamá.
Los hallazgos y las observaciones se obtuvieron con un trabajo de campo extenuante realizado en 15 departamentos de Colombia con los auspicios del Ministerio de Trabajo, Higiene y Previsión Social en cooperación con la División Sanitaria Internacional de la Fundación Rockefeller.
