	abstract = {<p>We investigated the parasite fauna of Southern Lapwings (Vanellus chilensis chilensis) from the \&Ntilde;uble Province, Chile, between March 2004 and March 2006. We analized a total of 36 samples from animals dead from different causes. Among them, 86.1 \% of lapwingswere positive to lice Phthiraptera (72.2 \% had Actornithophilus gracilis, 63.9 \% had Quadraceps guimaraesi and 25 \% had Austromenopon aegialitidis). Regarding the populations of Phthiraptera, A. gracilis represented the 40.6 \% of the total, Q. guimaraesi the 35 \% and aegialitidis the 24.3 \%. Regarding helminths, 2.8 \% of the birds were positive with the nematode Dispharynx nasuta, 5.6 \% were positive with the acanthocephalan Plagiorhynchus sp.; the cestode Infula sp. was identified in 38.9 \% of the birds.</p>
