%X with the aims to determine the infection frequency by tapeworms of diphyllobothrium genus 30 samples from captive wild carnivoves were analyzed. a 30% of the animal analyzed was positive to the infection. whereas the family procionidae has a high percentage of positivity (60%), canidae have lower infection ratio (20-25%). the accuracy for the diagnosis of diphylobothrium was made by the morphology of scolex, proglottids and eggs. this is the first report of the parasite presence in argentine wild carnivores.
