Coelomocytes are sparse or absent (Goodnight 1959, Pennak 1978).
Branchiura sowerbyi is generally thought to be a native of tropical and subtropical Asia (Mills et al.1993), but some think it is just most conspicuous in these places and is naturally widespread (Gustafson 1996).
Branchiura sowerbyi was probably introduced to the United States, as well as globally, with the importation of aquarium specimens.

 Crustaceamorpha
Parasites found on the exterior of the host are called ectoparasites (for example, Branchiura and some Isopoda), while those found inside the host are called endoparasites (for example, some parasitic copepods and Rhizocephala).
Some crustacean parasites, such as tantulocarids and rhizocephalans, find a host during the larval stages, metamorphose once attached to that host, and stay with it the rest of their lives.
Others, such as the Branchiura, move from one host to another throughout their lives, staying on a single host just long enough to fill their bellies.

 Taxonomy
Older versions of crustacean classification broke into the classes Branchiopoda, Branchiura, Cephalocarida, Cirrpedia, Copepoda, Malacostraca, Mystacocarida and Ostracoda.
Martin and Davis maintain that there is enough morphological and molecular evidence to justify this classification.
It is further divided into six subclasses: Thecostraca (including Cirripedia, formerly separated), Tantulocarida, Branchiura, Pentastomida, Mystacocarida, and Copepoda.

Copepods also have the potential to act as control mechanisms for malaria by consuming mosquito larvae, and contrariwise are intermediate hosts of many human and animal parasites.
Branchiura (commonly referred to as sea lice) are also included with the Copepoda, since many copepod researchers also study these parasites of fish.
The Class Branchiura is comprised of 1 Family and 4 Genera

ABSTRACT: Actinospore infection of oligochaetes collected from the mud of 2 freshwater biotopes in South Africa was studied.
Using the Œcell-well plate method¹, a new aurantiactinomyxon type was found in 1.1% of the examined Branchiura sowerbyi oligochaete specimens from the Rietvlei River, north of Johannesburg, Gauteng, South Africa.
