In Río Negro province, Cystic echinococcosis is an endemic zoonosis produced by Echinococcus granulosus, which has sanitary importance in rural communities. Recently, presence of this parasite has been recognized in dogs from Bariloche city. The objective of this work was to evaluate canine echinococcosis in Bariloche city. 2017 Samples of canine feces were taken in different neighborhoods. All samples were processed in duplicate, values of optical density (DO) higher than 0.235 for both trials were considered positive. 4,8% of Positive canine feces for Echinococcus sp were found in three sectors.These results would indicate that cities constitute infection foci which, in general, are not taken into account. Educational programs of responsible dog ownership are needed to control urban transmission of Cystic echinococcosis
