The objective of the present study was to evaluate in alpacas Huacaya and sheep Corriedale plantel herds the natural resistance to gastrointestinal nematodes and parasitic dynamics under natural conditions to parasitic infection; as well as to estimate the association between animal category and degree of parasitism. Between February 2014 and April 2016, a total of 238 faecal samples of alpacas and 319 of sheep in San Pedro de Racco; and 215 faecal samples of sheep and 178 of alpacas in Yurajhuanca, respectively, were collected. Fecal count of nematode eggs was determined using the modified McMaster technique, and the identification of parasitic genera was performed through the morphometric identification of infective larvae (L3). The overall prevalence was 65.20% (208/319) and 21.43% (51/238) for nematodes in sheep and alpacas of the San Pedro de Racco cooperative, and 35.35% (76/215) and 3.93% (7/178) for nematodes in sheep and alpacas of the Yurajhuanca cooperative, respectively. The species found in sheep and alpacas in both cooperatives were Chabertia ovina, Oesophagostomum sp., Trichostrongylus sp. and Teladorsagia circumcincta. The previous natural logarithmic transformation was performed for the stratification of resistant, intermediate and susceptible animals to nematodes. For the phenotypic categorization, 136 sheep and 238 alpacas were sampled in San Pedro de Racco and 174 sheep in Yurajhuanca. Sheep in San Pedro de Racco were categorized as intermediate 69.12% (94/136), susceptible 26.47% (36/136) and resistant 4.41% (6/136), while sheep in Yurajhuanca were intermediate 63.79% (111/174), susceptible 23.56% (41/174) and resistant 12.64% (22/174). Alpacas in Racco were intermediate 86.55% (206/238), susceptible 13.45% (32/238) and resistant 0% (0/238). Finally, a significant association was identified between animal category and parasitic grade in sheep of San Pedro de Racco in 2014.
