%X A trav¨¦s de los m¨¦todos directo, de sedimentaci¨®n y de flotaci¨®n fueron analizadas muestras fecales de 62 mam¨ªferos de las ¨®rdenes Artiodactyla (n=08), Carnivora (n=20), Perissodactyla (n=03), Primates (n=29) y Rodentia (n=02) mantenidos en cautiverio en el Parque Dois Irm os, Recife, Pernambuco, Brasil. De los 62 animales analizados, 46 (74,2%) estaban parasitados de los cuales 22 (75,9%) pertenec¨ªan al orden Primates, 19 (95,0%) al orden Carnivora, 3 (37,5%) al orden Artiodactyla, y 2 (100%) al orden Rodentia. Los animales del orden Perissodactyla presentaron resultados negativos en todas las muestras analizadas. El poliparasitismo tuvo prevalec¨ªa de 90,7% y los par¨¢sitos gastrointestinales diagnosticados fueron Strongyloides fulleborni, Strongyloides sp, Baylisascaris sp, Toxascaris leonina, Trichuris vulpis, Trichuris sp, Ascaridoidea, Strongyloidea, Spiruroidea, Ancilostom¨ªdeos, Trematoda, Balantidium coli, Entamoeba coli, E. histolytica, Giardia sp y Cocc¨ªdios. El m¨¦todo de sedimentaci¨®n espont¨¢nea demostr¨® ser el m¨¢s eficiente en la detecci¨®n de los par¨¢sitos gastrointestinales The wild animals are hosts of a large number of internal and external parasites which interfere in the performance of this animals in captivity. The aim of this study was to identify the gastrointestinal parasites of captive wild mammals from Parque Dois Irm os, located in Recife city, Pernambuco state, Brazil. Fresh faecal samples of 62 mammals of the Artiodactyla (n=08), Carnivora (n=20), Perissodactyla (n=03), Primates (n=29) and Rodentia (n=02) orders were analyzed by direct, spontaneous sedimentation and flotation techniques. Among the 62 animals 46 (74.2%) showed positive results for helminths and/or protozoa, distributed at follows: 22 (75.9%) Primates, 19 (95.0%) Carnivora, 03 (35.7%) Artiodactyla, and 02 (100.0%) Rodentia. All the Perissodactyla showed negative results. The prevalence of poliparasitism was 90.7% and the gastrointestinal parasites identified were: Strongyloides fulleborni, Strongyloides sp, Baylisascaris sp, Toxascaris leonina, Trichuris vulpis, Trichuris sp, Ascaridoidea, Strongyloidea, Spiruroidea, Ancylostomatidae, Trematoda, Balantidium coli, Entamoeba coli, E. histolytica, Giardia sp and Coccidia. The spontaneous sedimentation technique was the most efficient in detecting gastrointestinal parasites ova, cysts and oocysts in faeces of the animals studied. This is the first record of gastrointestinal parasites in captive wild mammals in Pernambuco state, Brazil.
