&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;Although parasites in South American &lt;/span&gt;camelids&lt;span&gt; (SAC) can cause severe economic losses in Bolivia, a country with large populations of SAC, knowledge of these parasites in this species is limited. To obtain data on the parasitic fauna in alpacas from the Integrated Management Natural Area &lt;/span&gt;Apolobamba&lt;span&gt; (&lt;/span&gt;ANMI&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;Apolobamba&lt;span&gt;), in February 2006 we evaluated 82 alpacas to determine the presence of &lt;/span&gt;ecto&lt;span&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;endoparasites&lt;span&gt; and investigate some biological and ecological drivers for the presence and distribution of parasites. In 54 (98.2%) fecal samples were positive to &lt;/span&gt;coccidia&lt;span&gt; parasitic forms, nematodes, &lt;/span&gt;cestodes&lt;span&gt; and trematodes. Significant prevalence (P&amp;lt;0.05) of nematodes of the order &lt;/span&gt;Strongylida&lt;span&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;Capillaria&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;spp&lt;span&gt;. was&amp;nbsp;found in adults and young alpacas respectively. From 82 individuals reviewed, 51 (62.2%) had infestations caused by &lt;/span&gt;Bovicola&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;breviceps&lt;span&gt;, &lt;/span&gt;Microthoracius&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;mazzai&lt;span&gt;, M. &lt;/span&gt;praelongiceps&lt;span&gt;, M. minor, &lt;/span&gt;Amblyomma&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;parvitarsum&lt;span&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;Sarcoptes&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;scabiei&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;var&lt;span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;aucheniae&lt;span&gt;, and significant prevalence (P &amp;lt;0.05) of lice M. &lt;/span&gt;praelongiceps&lt;span&gt; was observed in females alpacas. This is the first registry of &lt;/span&gt;Bovicola&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;breviceps&lt;span&gt; in Bolivia, and the &lt;/span&gt;ectoparasites&lt;span&gt; of &lt;/span&gt;Microthoracius&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;mazzai&lt;span&gt;, M. &lt;/span&gt;praelongiceps&lt;span&gt;, M. minor and &lt;/span&gt;Amblyomma&lt;span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;parvitarsum&lt;span&gt; are the first records found in alpacas from Bolivia.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
