The present investigation aimed to study gastrointestinal parasites in relation to trophic guilds and biological variables of Chiropterans. 74 chiropterans were analyzed at the Quebrada Blanco Biological Station in the Fernando Lores district, Loreto department. The animals were captured, grouped in trophic guilds and sacrificed in order to extract the parasites of their digestive tracts, which were identified at the genus and species level, parasitic indices and biological variables of the chiropterans were calculated. A total of 15 parasites were described, of which 10 were nematodes, 4 trematodes and one cestode. The general prevalence of infection was 36.5%. Of the total number of helminths found, 83.8% corresponded to Ochoterenatrema, Anenterotrema liliputianium, Neodiplostomum vaucheri and Metadelphis compactum, 11.8% corresponded to the nematodes Aoncotheca, Cheiropteronema, Physaloptera, Seuratum, Allintoshius parallintoshius, Biacantha desmoda, Cheiropteronema striatum, Histiostrongylus coronatus, Parahistiostrongylus octacanthus and Tricholeiperia leiperi and the Vampirolepis cestode. The insectivorous trophic guild presented higher prevalence (50%), abundance and richness. Regarding the relationships between the parasitic indices and the biological variables, regarding sex, the males presented higher prevalence rates (42.5%), richness and abundance. Despite these results, there was no relationship between these two variables. On the other hand, according to the correlation test, the weight and length of the chiropterans were not influenced by the abundance of the parasites, except for Garnerycteris crenulatum. In conclusion, the gastrointestinal parasites are not related to the trophic guilds and biological variables of the chiropterans of the Quebrada Blanco Biological Station.
