Resumen:
The helminth community of Larus dominicanus (Charadriiformes) is reported from Península Valdés (42º04’–42º53’S, 63º38’– 64º30’W), on the Patagonian coast, Argentina. From March 2000 to April 2004, 29 Kelp Gulls were collected and dissected. All the birds were parasitized by at least 2 of 18 parasite species: 2 cestodes (1 Tetrabothriidae, 1 Dilepididae); 10 trematodes (2 Echinostomatidae, 3 Microphallidae, 2 Gymnophallidae, 1 Philophthalmidae, 1 Dicrocoeliidae, 1 Diplostomatidae); 4 nematodes (2 Acuariidae, 1 Capillaridae, 1 Anisakidae), and 2 acanthocephalan (Polymorphidae). The mean intensity was 3,204 parasites per host and all helminths parasitized the gastrointestinal tract or associated glands. The helminth community of L. dominicanus on the Patagonian coast is richer than those reported by previous authors in other localities in Argentina, probably because of the greater diversity in prey items. The progress of this survey allowed to register 9 species for the first time from the kelp gull and 7 species for the first time from Argentina. previous authors in other localities in Argentina, probably because of the greater diversity in prey items.
