“…Although all reports of capillariids in modern SACs could not be identified to species, eggs similar to these have been identified in images from parasitological examinations of domestic SACs (Ballweber 2009; Cebra 2014; Hyuga & Matsumoto 2016) – even diagnosed as Trichuris sp. (Kutzler 2018), in wild guanacos from Mendoza, Argentina (Moreno et al 2015), in vicuñas from Bolivia and Peru (Ruíz Hurtado 2016; Pacheco et al 2021), and in wild vicuñas from Catamarca, Argentina (Fugassa pers. obs.…”

To gain insights into the trichurid diversity in pre-Hispanic remains of South American camelids (SACs), as well as into modern SAC populations, a bibliographic search was carried out to find parasitological studies. Results showed that a total of 17 studies were performed at archaeological and paleontological sites, in which a total of 213 samples were examined. The sample set was used as the unit of analysis, and 83% of 52 pre-Hispanic sample sets were positive for parasites. Parasitological studies confirmed the pre-Hispanic presence of diverse trichurids: two Trichuris species and capillariid eggs with morphological differences that allowed them to be assigned to three different species. Currently, the richness of the native trichurid assemblages in SACs has been extended by the inclusion of two species (Trichuris sp. 2 and Capillariinae gen. sp. 1). Modern T. tenuis Chandler, 1930, considered SAC-specific, would have invaded SAC populations during the European colonization. The estimate of regional and temporal trichurid prevalence and paleoecological information allowed us to propose a possible origin for some of them. Although the present analysis is exploratory, it should stimulate future studies about the biogeographic history of SAC helminths, provide relevant information to improve descriptions of the Holocene ecology, and identify threatened helminths.

“…Host-specific parasites and generalistic parasites shared with domestic ruminants such as sheep and goats are well known and have been widely described in the literature (e.g. Navone and Merino 1989 ; Leguia, 1991 ; Beldomenico et al, 2003 ; Aguirre and Cafrune, 2007 ; Arias-Pacheco et al, 2021 ). It is known that camelids are parasitized by gastrointestinal nematodes, trematodes and cestodes, and by coccidians, among other parasites.…”
