“…The A. typica sp. A taxon has apparently a worldwide distribution, being detected genetically in temperate waters of East Atlantic Ocean (Caribbean area, off the coasts of Florida, Brazil and northern Argentine Sea) ( Borges et al, 2012 ; Cavallero et al, 2011 ; Iñiguez et al, 2011 ; Irigoitia et al, 2021 ; Lanfranchi et al, 2018 ), in the Western Atlantic Ocean (from the North African coasts up to waters off Portugal) ( Hermida et al, 2011 ; Marques et al, 2006 ; Mattiucci et al, 2002 , Mattiucci et al, 2014 ), in the Mediterranean Sea ( Farjallah et al, 2008 ), in the Central Pacific Ocean around Hawaii ( Kuhn et al, 2013 ), in the Pacific Ocean waters off Japan ( Takano et al, 2021 ), in the Gulf of Bangladesh ( Bao et al, 2022 ) and, in sympatry with A. typica sp. B (ex Anisakis sp.1), in several areas of the Indo-Pacific waters ( Anshary et al, 2014 ; Kuhn et al, 2013 ; Palm et al, 2008 , Palm et al, 2017 ) and off Northeastern Australia ( Jabbar et al, 2012 ).…”

“…In the warmer temperate and tropical waters of the world's oceans from 35 to 40° N to 39° S in a circum-equatorial distribution, A. typica (Diesing, 1860) appears to be one of the most common Anisakis species ( Irigoitia et al, 2021 ; Lanfranchi et al, 2018 ; Mattiucci et al, 2018 ). Adult individuals of this species were originally described from Delphinus delphis in the Central Atlantic Ocean (Diesing, 1860).…”

Nematodes are among the most common parasites in aquatic mammals. Because of their cuticular covering, these worms are frequently collected from the examination of feces or stranded hosts. This work provides new records of three nematode taxa infecting three different aquatic mammal species (Lontra longicaudis annectens, Trichechus manatus, and Zalophus californianus) in Mexico. Additionally, it brings together all available published records about this country's nematode fauna parasitizing aquatic mammals. The aim is to describe the current state of the art, which sets the basis for the strategic design of future research. Given the diversity of printed sources recording nematode fauna, we gathered literature, including theses and articles in journals profiled in the Journal Citation Reports or similar academic databases. The compiled information shows that 24 nominal nematode taxa have been reported from 11 species of aquatic mammals in Mexico. Our study exhibits irregular patterns of geographic distribution and host spectrum, existing entire marine ecoregions, and numerous host species lacking records.

“…A representative subsample of 100 Anisakis larvae taken among those cultured, was used for molecular identification. Total genomic DNA from each larva was extracted using the Quick-gDNA Miniprep Kit (ZYMO RESEARCH) following the procedure reported in Irigoitia et al., 2021 . The mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase 2 (mtDNA cox 2) gene locus was amplified using the primers 211F (forward; 5′-TTTTCTAGTTATATAGATTGRTTYAT-3′) and 210R (reverse; 5′-CACCAACTCTTAAAATTATC-3′) ( Valentini et al., 2006 ; Mattiucci et al., 2014 ).…”

IntroductionAnisakis pegreffii is a sibling species within the A. simplex (s.l.) complex requiring marine homeothermic (mainly cetaceans) and heterothermic (crustaceans, fish, and cephalopods) organisms to complete its life cycle. It is also a zoonotic species, able to accidentally infect humans (anisakiasis). To investigate the molecular signals involved in this host-parasite interaction and pathogenesis, the proteomic composition of the extracellular vesicles (EVs) released by the third-stage larvae (L3) of A. pegreffii, was characterized.MethodsGenetically identified L3 of A. pegreffii were maintained for 24 h at 37°C and EVs were isolated by serial centrifugation and ultracentrifugation of culture media. Proteomic analysis was performed by Shotgun Analysis.Results and discussionEVs showed spherical shaped structure (size 65-295 nm). Proteomic results were blasted against the A. pegreffii specific transcriptomic database, and 153 unique proteins were identified. Gene Ontology and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes analysis predicted several proteins belonging to distinct metabolic pathways. The similarity search employing selected parasitic nematodes database revealed that proteins associated with A. pegreffii EVs might be involved in parasite survival and adaptation, as well as in pathogenic processes. Further, a possible link between the A. pegreffii EVs proteins versus those of human and cetaceans’ hosts, were predicted by using HPIDB database. The results, herein described, expand knowledge concerning the proteins possibly implied in the host-parasite interactions between this parasite and its natural and accidental hosts.
