In our Amazon region, the upbringing of the collared peccaries (Tayassu tajacu) in captivity is faced to the securing of meat and leather, the last one with ends of exportation for the manufacture of gloves and furrier's, being supported Peru as exporting world only one of leather of this species. Nevertheless, in the production of this one and other wild species of the Amazon region few ones are the studies destined to determine the infectious and/or parasitic illnesses that they cause low in his production. Such is the case of the Trypanosoma sp. which has been brought in a fortuitous way in collared peccaries, not going so far as to determine the implied species, fact that receives big importance because someone species of this parasite are zoonotics. The objective of the present study was to determine the presence of Trypanosoma sp. in collared peccaries in captivity of Iquitos and Moyobamba, for which they were sampled 38 collared peccaries proceeding from three breeding grounds and whose ages were fluctuating between 3 months and 2 years. The used tests were of the microcapillary or method of Woo and of the blood smear. The realized analyses did not allow us to determine the presence of the Trypanosoma sp. in the analyzed samples, nevertheless these results it does not indicate us that the illness should not exist in the collared peccaries of our Amazon region, but rather he allows us to conclude that they are more exhaustive necessary studies, with the employment of test with major sensibility as that of the PCR, which allow us to determine the real presentation of this illness, as well as to determine if it is that the Trypanosoma sp. in the collared peccaries, he behaves like in pigs in whom his detection is difficult for routine methods, since the period of parasitaemia is short.
