description Background: Rickettsioses are diseases caused by Rickettsia bacteria, transmitted through tick or mite bites, or through contact with feces from lice or fleas. In Mexico, these diseases are a major public health concern, particularly in the tropical states where they appear to be responsible for most cases and the highest mortality rates. In the epidemiology of rickettsiosis, domiciled dogs and rodents play a significant role in maintaining of biological vectors in the vicinity of dwellings and in domestic and companion animals that people live with. It has been determined that some characteristics of households in localities with some degree of social-economic marginalization increase the risk of occurrence of Rickettsia spp. in the occupants. Objective: To present a literature review on the epidemiology of rickettsiosis, delving into studies about the characteristics of the peridomiciliary space and the most common animals that live there involved in the occurrence of rickettsiosis in localities of the Mexican tropic. Methodology: Using keywords related to the objective, a search between November 2022 and April 2023 was carried out on digital sources of information from various types of scientific references. The search results were classified according to eligibility criteria. Results: The information generated in the Mexican tropic on the epidemiology of rickettsiosis involving synanthropic and domestic animals, as well as the characteristics of the peridomiciliary space, is more extensive and numerous than in other regions of the country. Implications: The present review includes part of the epidemiological panorama of endemic rickettsiosis in the Mexican tropics, which is not necessarily attributable to other regions where environmental and socioeconomic conditions can modify the behavior of these diseases. Conclusions: It has been documented that the transmission of zoonoses such as rickettsiosis is influenced by ecological or environmental conditions and the characteristics of anthropized environments such as the peridomicile, which represent factors related to the occurrence of these diseases in the households’ occupants of localities in the Mexican tropics. Several pathogenic species of Rickettsia are found in domesticated dogs and some species of wild and synanthropic rodents, indicating their significant epidemiological role in the tropical regions of Mexico.

Several pathogenic species of Rickettsia are found in domesticated dogs and some species of wild and synanthropic rodents, indicating their significant epidemiological role in the tropical regions of Mexico.Antecedentes: Las rickettsiosis son zoonosis ocasionadas por bacterias patógenas del género Rickettsia que se transmiten por la picadura de garrapatas y ácaros hematófagos, o por la inoculación en la piel o las mucosas de heces contaminadas con las bacterias de piojos o pulgas. En México, estas enfermedades son un problema de salud pública, principalmente en los estados del trópico donde aparentemente ocasionan la mayoría de los casos y la tasa de mortalidad más elevada. En la epidemiología de las rickettsiosis, los perros domiciliados y los roedores tienen un papel determinante debido a que acercan y mantienen poblaciones de vectores biológicos en las inmediaciones de las viviendas y en los animales domésticos y de compañía con los que conviven las personas. Se ha determinado que algunas características de las viviendas de localidades con algún grado de marginación económico social incrementan el riesgo de ocurrencia de Rickettsia spp. en los ocupantes. Objetivo: Presentar una revisión de literatura sobre la epidemiología de las rickettsiosis, profundizando en los estudios sobre las características del espacio peridomiciliar y los animales más comunes que ahí habitan involucradas en la ocurrencia de rickettsiosis en localidades del trópico de México. Metodología: Con palabras clave relacionadas con el objetivo, se realizó una búsqueda, entre noviembre de 2022 a abril de 2023, en fuentes digitales de información de diversos tipos de referencias científicas. Los resultados de la búsqueda se clasificaron según criterios de elegibilidad. Resultados: La información generada en el trópico de México sobre la epidemiología de las rickettsiosis involucrando animales sinantrópicos y domésticos, así como las características del espacio peridomiciliar es más extensa y numerosa que en otras regiones del país. Implicaciones: La presente revisión incluye parte del panorama epidemiológico de las rickettsiosis endémicas en el trópico mexicano, lo cual, no necesariamente es atribuible a otras regiones del país donde las condiciones medioambientales y socioeconómicas pueden modificar el comportamiento de estas enfermedades. Conclusiones: Se ha documentado que la transmisión de las zoonosis como las rickettsiosis, está influenciada por las condiciones ecológicas o medioambientales y las características de los entornos antropizados como el peridomicilio, que llegan a representar factores relacionados con la ocurrencia de estas enfermedades en los ocupantes de las viviendas de localidades del trópico de México. Los perros domiciliados y algunas especies de roedores silvestres y sinantrópicos muestran ser hospederos activos de varias especies patógenas de Rickettsia lo que sugiere un importante papel epidemiológico en su ocurrencia y permanencia en las regiones tropicales de México.Universidad Autónoma de YucatanUniversidad Autónoma de Yucatán2024-03-07info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://www.revista.ccba.uady.mx/ojs/index.php/TSA/article/view/4942urn:ISSN:1870-0462-tsaes.v27i2.4942010.56369/tsaes.4942Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems; Vol 27, No 2 (2024): (May - August)Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystems; Vol 27, No 2 (2024): (May - August)1870-0462reponame:Tropical and Subtropical Agroecosystemsinstname:UNIVERSIDAD AUTÓNOMA DE YUCATÁNinstacron:UADYenghttps://www.revista.ccba.uady.mx/ojs/index.php/TSA/article/view/4942/2210Copyright (c) 2024 Marco Torres-Castro, Enrique Reyes-Novelo, Abigail Arroyo-Ramírez, César Lugo-Caballero, Jesús Alonso Panti-May, Roger I.
