ResumoA caprinocultura é uma atividade de relevância social e econômica para o país, alcançando expansão significativa em várias regiões brasileiras, principalmente na região Nordeste. Além dos problemas com manejo zootécnico e sanitário enfrentados pela caprinocultura brasileira, somam-se condições climáticas que favorecem o desenvolvimento de diferentes parasitoses, principalmente as helmintoses, sendo consideradas um entrave à expansão da caprinocultura no Brasil. Este trabalho teve como objetivo estudar as infecções por helmintos gastrintestinais em caprinos criados na região metropolitana do Recife através da contagem de ovos por grama de fezes (OPG) e identificação de laNas de terceiro estágio obtidas em coproculturas. AbstractThe goat breeding is an açtivity of social and economical relevance to the Country, reaching significant expansion in several Brazilian areas, mainly in the Northeast. Besides the problems with sanitary handling, the Brazilian climatic conditions favour the development of different parasitosis, between them, the helmintic infections are considered as a fetter to the expansion of this activity in Brazil. This work had as objective to study the infections for gastrointestinal helminths in goat breed in the Metropolitan Area of Recife-Pernambuco state-Brazil through the count of eggs per gram of faeces (EPG) and identification of the third stage of laNae of nematode. There were used an average of 20 animais from a property located ín the municipal district of Paulista. Of these animais, monthly, in pre-established dates individual faecal samples were collected in the period of August of 1998 to July of 1999. lt was obseNed 82% of positivity., Strongyloidea type eggs was obseNed in 72.8% of the samples, 8.4% presented Moniezia spp. and 2% Trichuris sp. Third stage laNae of Haemonchus sp. were present in 75.13%, Trichostrongylus spp. in 24,32% and Oesophagostomum spp. in 0,54%. The medium number of laNae per gram of faeces for the genus Haemonchus and Trichostrongy/us was larger in the months with higher rainfall. There was significant correlation among EPG and temperature, EPG and rainfall, and between EPG and the number of laNae of Haemonchus sp. per gram of faeces. Haemonchus sp. was present in ali months of the period.
