	abstract = {<p>During April and September from 2010 to 2012, 80 birds of the species Calidris fuscicollis (white-rumped\&nbsp;sandpiper) were collected for parasitological studies in the southern coast of Rio Grande do Sul, under\&nbsp;ICMBIO license No. 26234-1. For ectoparasite collection, the birds were first submerged in water with\&nbsp;detergent. The parasites found were fixed in 70\% alcohol, cleared in 10\% potassium hydroxide and\&nbsp;mounted in Canada balsam. Of 80 birds examined, 79\% were parasitized. Actornithophilus umbrinus\&nbsp;(47.5\%), Actornithophilus lacustris (37.5\%), Actornithophilus spp. (13.75\%), Carduiceps zonarius (26.25\%),\&nbsp;Lunaceps incoenis (27.5\%), and Lunaceps spp. (16.25\%) were the species found with their respective prevalence.\&nbsp;We record for the first time parasitism by chewing lice in Calidris fuscicollis</p>
