The aim of this work was developing and analyzing risk maps of Fasciola hepatica infection in dairy cattle using geographical information system (GIS) in Matahuasi, Junín region; and Baños, Huánuco region. Dairy cattle stool samples were collected to determine the prevalence (p) (categorized in low risk p ≤ 20%, moderate risk 21% ≤ p ≤ 50%, and highrisk p ≥ 51%) and parasite loads of F. hepatica in every study area during wet seasons (November - March) and dry seasons (June - August) 2016 - 2017. Grazing areas of eight farmers in average were spatially georeferenced to assess soil characteristics in the field, and to estimate climatic variables (temperature and rainfalls per month), geographic variables (slope, elevation and distances from rivers, urban zones and roads) and vegetation and water indexes (Normalized difference vegetation index, NDVI; Enhanced vegetation index, EVI; normalized difference water index, NDWI), based on remote sensing images and GIS processing. Neural networks were used to generate F. hepatica predictive risk models based on the relationship between assessed factors and the observed prevalence; and Kappa coefficient (k) to select the predictive models that have more concordance with the observed risk of F. hepatica (k ≥ 0.6). Results reveal that prevalence per farmer in Matahuasi varied between 20% and 100%, and in Baños between 0% and 87.5%. The predictive model based on vegetation and water indexes generated by Sentinel 2 images was the best model (k=0.77) to develop risk maps. The most important predictive environmental factors were slope and water index (NDWI). Risk maps of F. hepatica show that Matahuasi has more high-risk areas in wet and dry seasons while in Baños high-risk areas slightly increase in dry seasons compare to wet seasons.
