Abstract

Twelve parasitic necropsies were performed on penguins from coast of Central and South Central Chile, yielding helminths Tetrabothrius lutzi, T. eudyptidis, Cardiocephaloides physalis, Contracaecum pelagicum, C. heardi and Ascaridia sp. in magellanian penguin, and T. eudyptidis, C. physalis and Contracaecum pelagicum in humboldt's penguin. New records were found of T. eudyptidis, C. pelagicum and C. heardi in Chile. C. physalis and Ascaridia sp. represent new parasitic species in the magellanic penguin.
