Abstract
During May to September (dry season) 1993, a total of 8 species of hel minths were collected from 41, wild-caught Capybara (Hydrochaeris hydr ochaeris) in 9 localities in eastern Bolivia. These include 3 cestodes (Monoecocestus hagmanni, Janicki, 1904; M. macrobursatum, Rego, 1961; M. hydrochoeri, Baylis, 1928), 3 nematodes (Habronema clarki, Foster and Chitwood, 1937; Viannella hydrochoeri, Travassos, 1920; Protozooph aga obesa, Diesing, 1851), and 2 trematodes (Taxorchis schistocotyle, Fischoeder, 1901; Hippocrepis hippocrepis, Diesing, 1850). This report represents new localities for all helminth species recovered.
