Abstract This checklist of parasites Kerodon rupestris, an endemic rodent from the Brazilian semiarid region, revealed records 25 enteroparasite taxa comprising Cestoda (Anoplocephalidae), Trematoda, Acanthocephala and Nematoda (Ancylostomidae, Ascarididae, Heterakidae, Oxyuridae, Pharyngodonidae, Trichuridae, Capillariidae, Trichostrongylidae, Strongyloididae), two coccidian. Paleoparasitological parasitological studies published until 2019 were assessed in present study locality information, site infection, sample dating, host data summarized each reference. Analyses recent feces coprolites highest species richness Piauí State. The chronological corroborated that Trichuris spp. oxyurids are part parasitic fauna K. rupestris. represents first intestinal
