Objective: To determine seropositivity and characteristics associated with parasitic zoonoses by Echinococcus granulosus, Fasciola hepatica, Taenia solium cysticercosis in the Peruvian highlands between 2016 and 2019. Materials and Methods: The reports of 7811 evaluated in the period 2016-2019 in the epidemiological surveillance activities for zoonoses carried out by the National Institute of Health in 13 regions of the Peruvian highlands were analyzed. Each report comprised an epidemiological record with sociodemographic information, characteristics of habits and activities, lifestyle, and epidemiological information. The diagnosis was obtained by the presence of IgG antibodies against E. granulosus, F. hepatica and T. solium cysticercus using native antigens by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and Western blotting. The characteristics associated with the presence of zoonosis were determined by Pearson's Chi-square test. Results: Seropositivity was 7.9% for fasciolosis, 4.9% for echinococcosis, and 2.3% for T. solium cysticercosis; these frequencies were higher in Cerro de Pasco for echinococcosis (24.5%), Ayacucho for cysticercosis (4.5%) and Puno for fasciolosis (40.6%). Among sociodemographic characteristics, statistically significant difference was found for all zoonoses according to age group, occupation, and region of residence, in terms of lifestyle with consumption of vegetables in emollients, and among epidemiological characteristics with weight loss. Conclusions: The frequency found of these zoonoses and their distribution are indicators that these are an important health problem, with associated shared characteristics.
