Anisakiasis and Gastroallergic Reactions Associated with Anisakis pegreffii Infection, Italy [PDF]

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2013
Human cases of gastric anisakiasis caused by the zoonotic parasite Anisakis pegreffii are increasing in Italy. The disease is caused by ingestion of larval nematodes in lightly cooked or raw seafood.

Invasive anisakiasis by the parasite Anisakis pegreffii (Nematoda: Anisakidae): diagnosis by real-time PCR hydrolysis probe system and immunoblotting assay [PDF]

BMC Infectious Diseases, 2017
Background Anisakiasis is a fish-borne zoonosis caused by Anisakis spp. larvae. One challenging issue in the diagnosis of anisakiasis is the molecular detection of the etiological agent even at very low quantity, such as in gastric or intestinal biopsy ...

Determinants of Ascaridoid Nematode Infection and Anisakis-Related Zoonotic Exposure Risk in Eastern Mediterranean Gadiformes Fishes. [PDF]

Transbound Emerg Dis
Larvae of ascaridoid nematodes, particularly Anisakis spp., are common parasites of commercially important marine fishes and may represent a zoonotic hazard following ingestion of raw or undercooked seafood. We investigated the ascaridoid fauna of the sympatric European hake (Merluccius merluccius) and greater forkbeard (Phycis blennoides) from the ...

Morphological and Molecular Identification of Anisakis spp. (Nematoda: Anisakidae) in Commercial Fish from the Canary Islands Coast (Spain): Epidemiological Data

Animals, 2022
The study aimed to perform the molecular identification of Anisakis larvae in commercial fish from the coast of the Canary Islands and to provide data on their infection level for the host and the species of this nematode parasite that we could find in ...

An Epidemiological Update on Anisakis Nematode Larvae in Red Mullet (Mullus barbatus) from the Ligurian Sea

Pathogens, 2023
Red mullet (Mullus barbatus) is a commercially relevant fish species, yet epidemiological data on anisakid nematode infestation in M. barbatus are scarce.

Multidisciplinary approach in study of the zoonotic Anisakis larval infection in the blue mackerel (Scomber australasicus) and the largehead hairtail (Trichiurus lepturus) in Northern Taiwan

Journal of Microbiology, Immunology and Infection, 2020
Background: Anisakid larvae are the food-borne pathogen highly prevalent among numerous marine fishes. Accidental consumption of infected raw or poorly cooked fish fillets may cause anisakiasis.

Molecular Identification of Zoonotic Parasites of the Genus Anisakis (Nematoda: Anisakidae) from Fish of the Southeastern Pacific Ocean (Off Peru Coast)

Pathogens, 2020
The study aims to perform, for the first time, the molecular identification of anisakid larvae in commercial fish from the Southeastern Pacific Ocean off the Peru coast, and to provide data on their infection level by fishing ground, fish host, and site ...

Assessing allergenic potential, exposure and risk of <i>Anisakis</i> spp. [PDF]

EFSA J
Abstract Parasites in seafood are a recognised food safety concern worldwide. Anisakiasis is a human disease caused by ingestion of larvae of parasitic nematodes of the genus Anisakis, typically present in raw or undercooked seafood. It is considered a significant emerging foodborne disease and was recently ranked among the top 10 of 24 parasitic ...

Distribution and genetic diversity of Anisakis spp. in cetaceans from the Northeast Atlantic Ocean and the Mediterranean Sea

Scientific Reports, 2022
Parasite biodiversity in cetaceans represents a neglected component of the marine ecosystem. This study aimed to investigate the distribution and genetic diversity of anisakid nematodes of the genus Anisakis sampled in cetaceans from the Northeast ...

Cross-species utility of microsatellite loci for the genetic characterisation of Anisakis berlandi (Nematoda: Anisakidae)

Parasite, 2020
Eight microsatellite loci, recently developed in the species Anisakis pegreffii, were successfully amplified in Anisakis berlandi, sibling species of the A. simplex (s. l.) complex. They were validated on adult specimens (n = 46) of the parasite species,
