Tick-borne diseases cause great losses in livestock production in tropical and subtropical areas of Latin America, mainly because they transmit important pathogens with infectious capacity, such as the protozoa of the Phylum Apicomplexa Babesia bovis and Babesia bigemina and rickettsia like Anaplasma marginale in the unvaccinated native and / or imported cattle. The objective of this article is to collect some of the risk factors that influence the tropics for the presentation of Babesia spp. and Anaplasma sp. These factors are mainly influenced by the state of the animal, the transmission mechanisms, environmental factors, ecological conditions and the handling of the animal given by the owner, among others. In conclusion, inadequate practices in animal handling largely expose the bovine population to the presentation of Anaplasma sp and Babesia spp., Due to the enzootic instability conditions that they generate, so it is necessary to implement strategies that involve to a
correct animal management that maintains the enzootic stability of the farm and that is based on scientific evidence, in order to promote the health of the
animal, increase production, decrease costs and be a relevant and timely tool when reach of the livestock producer.
