Resumo: | Wild animals may be regarded as reservoirs of several parasite species. The occurrence of certain parasitic agents may provide significant information on host’s ecology and behavior and its trophic relations. Thus, this study aimed to determine the parasitic fauna of wild animals from southern Minas Gerais within the period from January to December 2011. A cross-sectional study was conducted with a convenience sample consisting of the dead bodies of two run over animals, which were rescued from highways and transported to the Laboratory of Animal Anatomy of the Federal University of Lavras (UFLA). The specimens were inspected to verify the presence of ectoparasites and, then, dissected to resume gastrointestinal content and detect helminths. No ectoparasites were identified in the two animals, both belonging to the species Conepatus semistriatus (striped hog-nosed skunk), but the presence of helminths belonging to the genus Physaloptera was identified in the stomach of one specimen. |

Os animais silvestres podem ser considerados reservatórios de espécies de vários parasitos. A ocorrência de determinados agentes parasitários pode fornecer informações importantes sobre a ecologia e o comportamento do hospedeiro e suas relações tróficas. Dessa forma, este estudo teve por objetivo determinar a fauna parasitária de animais silvestres do sul de Minas Gerais no período de janeiro a dezembro de 2011. Foi realizado um estudo transversal com uma amostra de conveniência constituída por cadáveres de dois animais atropelados, que foram resgatados de rodovias e transportados para o Laboratório de Anatomia Animal da Universidade Federal de Lavras (UFLA). Os exemplares foram inspecionados para verificação da presença de ectoparasitos e, em seguida, dissecados para recuperação do conteúdo gastrintestinal e detecção de helmintos. Não foram identificados ectoparasitos nos dois animais, ambos da espécie Conepatus semistriatus (jaritataca), mas foi identificada a presença de helmintos do gênero Physaloptera no estômago de um espécime.
