This paper deals with the study of parasites in cattle in the region of Jaboticabal, São Paulo. For this, 42 holstein-zebu mixed breeding animals, 8 to 14 month old, were necropsied. At necropsy 17 species of helminth were collected. The prevalence and intensity of infection were as follow: Haemonchus placei 97,62% (1961,81); Cooperia punctata 92,86% (8109,45); Oesophagostomum radiatum 73,81% (217,38); Trichuris discolor 38,19% (25,48); Trichostrongylus axei 26,19% (122,05); H. simillis 21,43% (37, 45); C. pectinata 19,05% (198,6); Bunostomum phlebotomum 16,66% (8,95); Dictyocaulus viviparus 16,66% (3,62); C. spatulata14,29% (109,95); Capillaria bovis 11,90% (5,48); Ostertagia ostertagi 7,14% (0,86); O. lyrata 4,76% (0,17); Eurytrema coelomaticum 4,76% (2,14); Moniezia benedeni, 4.76% (0,05); T. colubriformis 2,38% (0,48); Strongyloides papillosus 2,38% (0,25). Each calf had an average worm burden of 10804 helminths Haemonchus (18,5%) and Cooperia (77,91%) were the most frequently observed helminths. Mixed infections were commonly observed, 71,43% of the animals were parasitized with three to five different species of helminths. Only 2,38% of the calves were parasitized with ten different species of helminths.
