The objective of the present research, carried out in Lima, was to determine the prevalence of ectoparasites and endoparasites in castile pigeons (Columba livia) wild racecourse of Monterrico - Surco, specifically in the area of studs or stables. For this, 100 pigeons (57 Males: 43 Females) were captured, using specialized floor traps borrowed by the company Biocontrol Aviar S.R.L. The pigeons were transferred to the Laboratory of Parasitology of the Academic Department of Nutrition, of the Faculty of Zootechnics, National Agrarian University of La Molina, for their respective analysis. The collection of external parasites was carried out both in the field phase and in the laboratory phase through the use of a finetipped clamp, placing the parasites in 125 ml bottles with 70 percent alcohol. While for the collection of internal parasites, pigeons were euthanized by the use of Pentobarbital sodium (Halatal), in doses of 1ml per 2.5 kg of body weight. Then proceeded to perform the Travassos Method for the recovery of parasites and stool samples were collected to perform coprological sedimentation and flotation tests. The parameters evaluated were prevalence, intensity of parasitism and frequency of parasitism. The prevalence of ectoparasites was 97 percent and in endoparasites 26 percent, being the ectoparasites species found the following: Columbicola columbae (82 percent), Pseudolynchia canariensis (60 percent) and Menacanthus stramineus (53 percent). While the endoparasite species found were the following: Ascaridia spp (25 percent) and Heterakis isolonche (1 percent). In the case of internal parasites, the levels of parasitic load were: mild 26 percent, moderate 32 percent, severe 30 percent and grave 9 percent. Regarding the variety of parasites found in animals, 26 percent were cases of monoparasitism; 31 percent were cases of biparasitism and 40 percent were cases of polyparasitism. No significant differences (p≥0.05) were found in relation to sex or age of pigeons in endoparasites and ectoparasites.
