| Abstract: | Paper in Spanish RESUMEN Se describe y determina la predictibilidad de la comunidad de macroparásitos registrada en polluelos y juveniles de Sula variegata. Se recolectaron 12 aves desde los Acantilados de Quirilluca, Valparaíso. Se calculó la intensidad y la prevalencia parasitaria, y se analizó la predictibilidad de la comunidad mediante métricas de anidamiento. Se hallaron especies de ectoparásitos (Phthiraptera e Ixodida) y de endoparásitos (Nematoda, Platyhelminthes y Acanthocephala). La comunidad de parásitos de S. variegata se determinó como predecible y típica de un ave piscívora.

Twelve birds were collected from the Quirilluca Cliffs, Valparaíso. Parasitic intensity and prevalence were calculated, and predictability was analyzed with nesting metrics. Ectoparasite (Phthiraptera and Ixodida) and endoparasite (Nematoda, Platyhelminthes and Acanthocephala) species were found. The parasite community of S. variegata was determined as predictable and typical of a piscivorous bird. |
