	abstract = {With the objective of determining gastrointestinal parasites that affect the domestic dove in Chill{\'a}n, between july of 2002 and june of 2003, 200 units of Columba liviawere captured in five different sectors of the city of Chill{\'a}n. Seven species of endoparasites and three species of ectoparasites were collected. The isolated species of endoparasites (prevalence in parenthesis) were: Aporina delafondi(3,5\%), Ascaridia columbae (7\%), Capillaria caudinflata(6\%), Capillaria columbae(5\%), Capillaria sp.(3\%), Tetrameres sp.(8,5\%) and Eimeria labbeana(11,5\%). No relation was found between prevalence of infection gastrointestinal parasites and the sex or age of the birds, with the exception of C. caudinflata, that was more frequent in adult individuals. Females of C. caudinflata andC. columbaewere more abundant than males. In 100\% of the pigeons was found the ectoparasites Columbicola columbae(24,4\%), Campanulotes bidentatus(1\%) and the mite 
Diplaegidia columbae. Columba livia could be a potential reservoir of C. columbae and C. caudinflatathat also infects domestic birds.

Abstract in Spanish:
Con el objeto de determinar el parasitismo gastrointestinal que afecta a la paloma dom{\'e}stica en la ciudad de Chill{\'a}n (Chile) (36{\textordmasculine} 36{\textquoteright} S - 72{\textordmasculine} 06{\textquoteright} O), entre julio de 2002 y junio de 2003 se capturaron 200 palomas Columba liviaen cinco sectores de la ciudad. Se colectaron siete especies de endopar{\'a}sitos y tres especies de ectopar{\'a}sitos en el 100\% de las palomas. Las especies de endopar{\'a}sitos aislados fueron (prevalencia entre par{\'e}ntesis): Aporina delafondi(3,5\%), Ascaridia columbae (7\%), Capillaria caudinflata(6\%), Capillaria columbae (5\%), Capillaria sp. (3\%), Tetrameres sp. (8,5\%) y Eimeria labbeana(11,5\%). No se encontr{\'o} relaci{\'o}n entre la prevalencia de la mayor{\'\i}a de los par{\'a}sitos gastrointestinales y el sexo o edad de las aves (p> 0.05), 
con excepci{\'o}n de C. caudinflata, la que fue m{\'a}s frecuente en individuos adultos que en juveniles (p< 0,05). Las hembras de C. caudinflatay C. columbaefueron m{\'a}s abundantes que los machos. Adem{\'a}s, se aisl{\'o} en el 100\% de las palomas el ectopar{\'a}sito Columbicola columbae, en el 24,5\% Campanudotes bidentatus y en el 1\% el {\'a}caro Diplaegidia columbae. Se concluye que C. liviapuede ser un riesgo potencial como reservorio de C. columbae, C. caudinflata, que tambi{\'e}n afectan a aves de corral.
