Conservation and rehabilitation of wildlife in captivity has taken great importance in recent years, but the parasite has been a major health problem in captive animals. With little disclosure reports describing the most common parasites in the theme parks and / or zoological identification of intestinal parasites he was sought by stool analysis. We worked with 5 copies of carnivores, African Lion (Panthera leo), White Lion (Phantera leo krugeri), Jaguar (Panthera onca), Tiger (Panthera tigris) and wolves (Canis lupus) of which 3 fecal samples were obtained per animal, which was macroscopically evaluated and were subsequently examined with direct macroscopic method and float method using saturated saline , and finally observed under the microscope with 10X objective. Resulting in 74% of the sampled animals with parasites, the parasite wolves that occurred more frequently Ancylostoma caninum was 66%, jaguars Molineus spp with 80%, tigers Giardia 100% by lion African Isospora felis by 80% and white lion Toxoplasma gondii by 100%. These coproparasitoscopic analysis showed that levels of gastrointestinal parasites in animals in the wild tend to be older given that the chances of infection in captivity are limited by the system of raising and feeding. Determinar a través de análisis coprologicos (directo y flotación) los niveles de parasitismo intestinal en los ejemplares carnívoros que se encuentran en cautiverio para poder analizar las muestras obtenidas y así poder determinar su prevalencia mediante un porcentaje mayor y menor del tipo de parasitismo que presentan. A partir de ello poder dar algunas alternativas en cuanto a un sistema preventivo de salud (desparacitaciones) así como también se valoro el estado sanitario de los exhibidores en el que se recomienda ofrecer instalaciones adecuadas según el tipo y necesidades de la especie a confinar. Mediante este análisis se pretende prevenir y controlar enfermedades que pueden llegar a transmitirse por contacto directo e indirecto de los animales a otros ...
