Abstract Anisakidae nematodes have a wide host and geographic distribution. Species of the genus Contracaecum parasitize aquatic organisms such as piscivorous birds and mammals as their definitive hosts. Several Contracaecum species have been reported parasitizing Phalacrocoracidae in South America.

Short communication: Morphological and genetic characterisation of selected Contracaecum (Nematoda: Anisakidae) larvae in Iran [PDF]
In their life cycle, Contracaecum spp infect marine mammals and piscivorous birds as definitive hosts and crustaceans and a wide range of fish species as their intermediate hosts. Humans can accidentally be infected with larval stages of these nematodes,

Genetic evidence of two sibling species within the Contracoecum ogmorhini Johnson & Mawson 1941 complex (Nematoda; Anisakidae) from otariid seals in boreal and austral regions [PDF]
Genetic variation of Contracaecum ogmorhini (sensu lato) populations from different otariid seals of the northern and southern hemisphere was studied on the basis of 18 enzyme loci as well as preliminary sequence analysis of the mitochondrial cyt b ...

Parasitic nematodes of the family Anisakidae (anisakids) can use salmon fishes as intermediate hosts in life cycles that terminate in marine mammal definitive hosts. To assess whether the anisakid burden has changed in salmon over time, we dissected a novel data source: chum, coho, pink, and sockeye salmon that were caught, canned, and thermally ...

Seafood-Borne Parasitic Diseases: A “One-Health” Approach Is Needed
Global consumption of seafood is steadily increasing, as is the variety of seafood, including dishes with raw or undercooked fish, leading to an increased risk of seafood-borne parasitic diseases.

Abstract Surveillance data published since 2010, although limited, showed that there is no evidence of zoonotic parasite infection in market quality Atlantic salmon, marine rainbow trout, gilthead seabream, turbot, meagre, Atlantic halibut, common carp and European catfish.

STUDIES ON HYSYTEROTHYLACIUM SP. (NEMATODA: ANISAKIDAE) INFECTING KUWAITI FISHES. [PDF]
Agroup of 186 fish specimens were obtained from Kuwait water including 37 silver pomfrets, (Pampas argenteus), 71 greasy groupers, (Epinephelus tauvina) and 78 Malabar blood snapper (Lutjanus malabaricus). They were examined during the period from December, 2001 to November, 2002 for helminth infection.

Five specimens of Plagioscion squamosissimus from Xingu River and ten specimens of Pellona castelnaeana from Mosqueiro Island, both in the State of Pará, Brazil, were examined to investigate the presence of anisakid nematodes, due to their zoonotic ...

Abstract As gastrointestinal parasites affect the health of marine mammal species, they are a potentially consequential stressor. Although they are infrequently identified as a cause of mortality, gastrointestinal parasites could drive cryptic declines in individual fitness—including declines in nutritional status—by acting synergistically with other ...
