History of fish parasitology in Africa
Original language description
Freshwater systems in Africa cover a surface area of almost 30,000 km2 and include 12 major freshwater habitat types ranging from closed basins, small lakes, floodplains and swamps to large tropical rivers (Van As et al. 2012). More than 3,200 species of fish species belonging to 76 of the world’s 170 freshwater fish families are known from Africa, with representatives of the families Cichlidae and Cyprinidae dominating African ichthyofauna (Lévêque et al. 2008). However, they are irregularly distributed over the continent and include highly diverse systems such as Lake Malawi (800 species) and the Congo River (700 species), as well as low diversity areas further north and south of the tropics.
