Bats are animals of great relevance to the environment and have an important synanthropic coexistence for health due to their adaptability to the urban environment, where certain pathologies can be triggered on a large scale as a result of this coexistence. All the bats received from other municipalities, as well as those collected by the DVZ's Chiroptera department, from September 22, 2021, to February 3, 2022, were sent to the rabies diagnostic laboratory of the São Paulo Zoonosis Surveillance Division (DVZ/SP) with their respective individual records. After identifying unusual granulations in the structures and viscera of Molossus molossus a study was started to analyze the endoparasite causing the pathology found, its contamination process, and how it impacts the health of these animals. We based this study on active research methodology using national and international databases, in addition to macro and microscopic analysis of the affected structures. The parasite Eimeria sp. Was identified in 87 bats examined. Due to its insectivorous feeding habits, Molossus molossus has a high rate of parasitism. It is possible that the form of transmission is through the ingestion of sporulated oocysts present in insects and that the parasite cycle develops inside the host, mainly affecting the gastrointestinal region. After analyzing the animals, we found that the gastrointestinal region presented around 97 to 98% contamination. The results obtained from this work demonstrate the need for long-term studies to determine the species of Eimeria that most affect host bats and the impact of parasites on their health.
