The research and study regarding the parasites of domestic animals in the state of Santa Catarina, is still evolving. These results depend upon the presence of several isolated studies in this area, that were carried out by several state research agencies and universities. Since the beginning of the publications until the present time, no work has been published, in a total state scope, that actually reviews or synthesizes any or all available information. This work had had an objective related to the parasites already found in domestic animals, forming only a single document in the state of Santa Catarina. We reviewed parasitology, which satisfied the criterion of presenting the first reports of parasitism in domestic animals in the State, accepted articles were published, a long with technical reports, work exhibited in updated cycles and weeks of academic and master's or doctoral theses. In each species (bovine, dog, goat, equine, domestic chicken, cat, sheep and swine) the parasites were separated by classes (Nematoda, Cestoda, Trematoda, Acanthocephala, Arachnida, Insecta, Sporozoa). Publications concerning the temporary vectors such as flies and mosquitoes hematophagous, were not included in this study. The first record of parasites in domestic animals in the State of Santa Catarina was done in 1918, when it was reported with a high incidence of Eurytrema pancreaticum in cattle. This work has over 100 studies, of which 21 refer to bovine parasites, 20 canine parasites, eight of goats, 12 of equines, eight of domestic chickens, ten of cats, ten of sheep, and 12 of swine.
