We investigated the ecological relationships between parasites and the host silver arowana Osteoglossum bicirrhosum Cuvier, 1829 from Amazonian basin, in Brazil. A total of 1,570.539 parasites belonging to different taxa were found including Ichthyophthirius multifiliis, Piscinoodinium pillulare (Protozoa), Gonocleithrum aruanae, Gonocleithrum planacrus, Gonocleithrum coenoideum (Monogenoidea) and Camallanus acaudatus (Nematoda); all had an aggregated dispersion.
