    abstract = {Researchers conducted a serological and parasitological survey of 16 free-ranging culpeo foxes (<I>Lycalopex culpaeus</I>) captured in several areas of central Chile from July 2009 and October 2010. Using ELISA tests, 8 animals were positive to <I>Canine distemper</I> virus and 1 to <I>Canine parvovirus</I>. Using coprological analysis (flotation and sedimentation), researchers found the first evidence of <I>Capillaria</I> sp., <I>Isospora</I> sp. and <I>Spirometra</I> sp. presence in culpeo fox. The tick <I>Amblyomma tigrinum</I> and the flea <I>Pulex irritans</I> were also found. This study is a first step in investigating health issues in this fox in this biodiversity hotspot of Central Chile.}
