Resumen:
In the winter of 2000, a greater than 80% reduction in the guanaco population located in Cabo
Dos Bah´ýas Wildlife Reserve, Chubut, Argentina, was evident due to massive mortality attributed
to starvation. Twelve guanacos were necropsied and samples were analyzed at the Parasitology
Laboratory of Facultad de Ciencias Veterinarias, Universidad Nacional del Litoral. Fecal analysis
revealed developmental stages of Nematodirus sp., Marshallagia sp., Trichuris sp. and EimeriaNematodirus sp., Marshallagia sp., Trichuris sp. and Eimeria
spp. Histopathological analysis showed the presence of Sarcocystis sp. in muscle and fascia cysts.
Other parasites recovered included Dictyocaulus filaria, Trichuris tenuis and Moniezia expansa. Of
these, D. filaria and M. expansa possibly reflect interactions with domestic sheep. This is the first
time that T. tenuis has been reported in guanacos.Sarcocystis sp. in muscle and fascia cysts.
