--- The aim of this study was to estimate the prevalence of Eimeria in alpacas of two communities of the Macusani district, Carabaya province, Puno, during the dry season. Additionally, estimate if the variables: origin, age (5m-<1 year, 1-3 years, >3 years) and sex are risk factors for the presentation of Eimeria spp. in alpacas; and we identify load and species of eimerias.1319 coprological samples were collected from huacaya alpacas, 598 of Hatun Phinaya community and 721 of Queracucho community during August and October 2010. They were evaluated using qualitative techniques such as sedimentation and flotation with sheather and willis solutions,the quantification of load was performed using the modified Mcmaster method and for identification species of eimerias was done by oocyst sporulation and measurement. The results showed a prevalence of 52.4% for Eimeria spp. Risk analysis was done by multiple logistic regresion test. It was founded that only age variable was a risk factor (p<0.05) for the presentation of eimerias, alpacas of 5 meses -<1 year and 1 - 3 years respectively had 13.2 and 2.4 times risker found infected to Eimeria spp. than over three years.. It was identified five eimeria species in alpacas, Prevalence of E. macusaniensis and Eimeria ivitaensis were 8.7 and 0.7 % respectively. Between small species (Eimeria punoensis, E. alpacae, E. lamae), the highest percent was presented by Eimeria punoensis (66.2%). The parasitic load of eimeria was considered low (187.8 opg). These findings confirm that eimeriosis is an inminent healthy problem in alpacas of two communities of Macusani. Keywords: alpacas, eimeria, prevalence, Macusani, dry season
