Abstract
The macroparasite community of nestlings and juveniles of Sula variegata is described, and the predictability of the parasite community is determined. Twelve birds were collected from the Quirilluca Cliffs, Valparaíso. Parasitic intensity and prevalence were calculated, and predictability was analyzed with nesting metrics. Ectoparasite (Phthiraptera and Ixodida) and endoparasite (Nematoda, Platyhelminthes and Acanthocephala) species were found. The parasite community of S. variegata was determined as predictable and typical of a piscivorous bird.
