- Abstract
Rickettsiosis are diseases considered neglected, poorly recognized, or confused with other pathologies in tropical and subtropical areas. In Colombia, despite having identified rickettsiosis endemic areas, few studies on the disease have been made, and there are very few works on public health vigilance. There are current efforts to understand the pathogenic molecular mechanisms on various species of rickettsia; however, breakthroughs are needed to have a better grasp of its epidemiology and to develop quick, sensitive and replicable diagnostic methods for those areas in which this zoonosis appears unpredictably.
