This search was carried out on 445 samples of 119 host fish of 27 families within the orders Characiformes, Perciformes, Clupeiformes, Mugiliformes, Osteoglossiformes, Symbranchiformes, Tetraodontiformes and Siluriformes from various regions of Brazil. We organized different host-parasite systems into matrices grouping species at different taxonomic and infestation levels and according to host parameters. Five families of parasites (Ergasilidae, Argulidae, Lernaeidae, Lernaeopodidae and Cymothoidae) distributed into 76 species of 27 genera were analyzed in the host samples, which presented dominance of Ergasilidae species, mainly from the genus Ergasilus. Some crustaceans are host and site-specific, especially in relation to fish in particular habitats and lifestyles (e.g. Perulernaea gamitanae, Anphira branchialis and Riggia paranensis), while other parasites frequently have no preference (e.g. Lernaea cyprinacea and Braga patagonica). We found broadly similar distribution patterns for some crustacean species among the different localities, whereas other species showed well-defined geographical patterns, and these findings were discussed.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1590\/s1984-29612015036","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2015,7,1]],"date-time":"2015-07-01T23:37:02Z","timestamp":1435793822000},"page":"136-147","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":46,"title":["Distribution pattern of crustacean ectoparasites of freshwater fish from Brazil"],"prefix":"10.1590","volume":"24","author":[{"given":"Marcos","family":"Tavares-Dias","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Embrapa Amap\u00e1, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Miguel Benedito Ferreira","family":"Dias-J\u00fanior","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Embrapa Amap\u00e1, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alexandro Cezar","family":"Florentino","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Amap\u00e1, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lu\u00eds Mauricio Abdon","family":"Silva","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Instituto de Pesquisas Cient\u00edficas e Tecnol\u00f3gicas do Estado do Amap\u00e1, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Alan Cavalcanti da","family":"Cunha","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Universidade Federal do Amap\u00e1, Brasil"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"530","reference":[{"key":"ref1","series-title":"Monitoramento Hidrol\u00f3gico na Amaz\u00f4nia Ocidental em 2014","year":"2014"},{"issue":"7","key":"ref2","first-page":"1","article-title":"Simultaneous multiple parasitic crustacean infestation on banded needlefish, Strongylura leiura (Belonidae) from the Malabar Coast, India","volume":"3","author":"Aneesh PT","year":"2013","journal-title":"Int J Sci Res Public"},{"issue":"3","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"263","DOI":"10.1590\/S1984-29612012000300015","article-title":"Expanded description of Lamproglena monodi (Copepoda: Lernaeidae), parasitizing native and introduced fishes in Brazil","volume":"21","author":"Azevedo RK","year":"2012","journal-title":"Rev Bras Parasitol Vet"},{"issue":"1","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"195","DOI":"10.1007\/s10750-007-9014-4","article-title":"Global diversity of copepods (Crustacea: Copepoda) in freshwater","volume":"595","author":"Boxshall GA","year":"2008","journal-title":"Hydrobiologia"},{"key":"ref5","series-title":"An introduction to copepod diversity","author":"Boxshall GA","year":"2004"},{"key":"ref6","series-title":"Catalogue of Crustacea of Brazil","first-page":"645","volume-title":"Malacostraca - Peracarida.
