%X In Yucat¨¢n State, southern M¨¦xico, as in many other parts of the world where tilapia has been introduced for aquaculture, the deficient application of management measures has led to the establishment of non-native parasites. The aims of this study were to describe the geographical distribution of protozoan and helminth parasites of farmed Nile tilapia Oreochromis niloticus (L.) throughout the Yucat¨¢n and to examine the potential statistical associations of the prevalence and mean abundance of these parasites with management and environmental variables
