%X El prop車sito de este estudio es entregar informaci車n sobre la situaci車n de la fasciolosis en los equinos fina sangre de carrera del Club H赤pico Concepci車n (Regi車n del Bio-Bio, Chile). Se tomaron muestras de 269 equinos (92 hembras y 177 machos), con un rango de edad entre 2 y 11 a os. En cada uno de los animales, se obtuvo una muestra de heces, la que fue analizada mediante examen de sedimentaci車n para detectar la presencia de huevos de Fasciola hep芍tica. De los 269 equinos examinados, se detectaron 28 (10,41%) positivos aF hep芍tica. Se encontraron s車lo diferencias de infecci車n por edad, siendo los menores los que presentaron mayores prevalencias (p < 0,05). The purpose of this study was to add information about current situation of the Thoroughbred racehorses fasciolosis in Chile. The study was made between January and February 2006. Fecal samples were taken from 269 horses (92 females and 177 males), whose age ranges from 2 and 11 years.

For the analysis of the results we used the statistical test of %2 and Fisher exact test. We detected 28 (10,4%) positive to the F. hep芍tica eggs.
