Ticks are considered the second most important vectors of pathogens worldwide, after mosquitoes. This study provides a systematic review of vector-host relationships between ticks and mammals (domestic and wild) and consolidates information from studies conducted in Colombia between 1911 and 2020. Using the PRISMA method, 71 scientific articles containing records for 51 tick species (Argasidae and Ixodidae) associated with mammals are reported. The existing information on tick-mammal associations in Colombia is scarce, fragmented, or very old. Moreover, 213 specimens were assessed based on morphological and molecular analyses, which allowed confirming eight tick species associated with mammals: Amblyomma calcaratum, Amblyomma dissimile, Amblyomma mixtum, Amblyomma nodosum, Amblyomma ovale, Amblyomma varium, Ixodes luciae, and Ixodes tropicalis. Several tick species are molecularly confirmed for Colombia and nine new relationships between ticks and mammals are reported. This research compiles and confirms important records of tick-mammal associations in Colombia.
蜱虫被认为是仅次于蚊子的全球第二大病原体传播媒介。本研究对蜱虫与哺乳动物（家养和野生）之间的媒介-宿主关系进行了系统综述，并整合了 1911 年至 2020 年期间在哥伦比亚开展的研究的信息。使用 PRISMA 方法，报告了 71 篇含有 51 种与哺乳动物相关的蜱虫物种（软蜱科和硬蜱科）记录的科学文章。哥伦比亚有关蜱-哺乳动物关联的现有信息稀缺、分散或非常陈旧。此外，还对 213 个标本进行了形态学和分子分析评估，从而确认了 8 种与哺乳动物相关的蜱虫：钝缘蜱、异色革蜱、混种革蜱、结节革蜱、卵形革蜱、变边革蜱、卢西氏硬蜱和热带硬蜱。几种蜱虫在分子水平上得到了哥伦比亚的确认，并报告了 9 种蜱虫与哺乳动物的新关系。本研究汇集并确认了哥伦比亚蜱-哺乳动物关联的重要记录。
