Determinants of Ascaridoid Nematode Infection and Anisakis‐Related Zoonotic Exposure Risk in Eastern Mediterranean Gadiformes Fishes

Transboundary and Emerging Diseases, Volume 2026, Issue 1, 2026.
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 ...

Nematode Infections in Commercially Important Squid Species: Distribution Patterns and Food Safety Issues

Zoonoses and Public Health, Volume 72, Issue 7, Page 612-619, November 2025.
ABSTRACT Introduction Cephalopods represent a valuable fishery resource worldwide and play a crucial role in the marine food chain both as predators and prey but also as paratenic hosts for the transmission of Ascaridoids, including zoonotic nematodes of the Anisakidae family.

Atypical Presentation of Colonic Sarcoidosis and Current Diagnostic Challenges

Case Reports in Gastrointestinal Medicine, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
We present a case of a Hispanic woman in her 70s who presented with nonspecific lower abdominal pain leading to a diagnosis of hepatic and colonic sarcoidosis. She had elevated liver function tests (LFTs), and imaging ruled out ischemia and cholangitis but revealed a cecal and ascending colon wall thickening with fat stranding.

Human anisakiasis in Italy: a retrospective epidemiological study over two decades

Parasite, 2018
A retrospective analysis on human anisakiasis in Italy since its first description in 1996 was performed by conducting a literature search. Inclusion criteria based on the presence of a larva and on parasite identification were applied.

Mullus barbatus L. and Mullus surmuletus L. from western Mediterranean waters (SE Spain) are infected by Hysterothylacium fabri, but not by zoonotic nematodes. Possible impact on fish hosts#

Journal of Fish Diseases, Volume 47, Issue 10, October 2024.
Abstract In order to know whether there is a risk of anisakiasis (or anisakidosis) by consumption of fish of the genus Mullus from the western Mediterranean Sea, which are appreciated for their quality, an epidemiological survey was carried out to evaluate the occurrence of zoonotic or potentially zoonotic nematodes in M. barbatus and M.
