“…For comparison, till 1999 in Spain 9 acute cases were described [ 54 ]; in 1997 96 cases of gastroallergic anisakiasis were diagnosed in patients in Madrid [ 55 ]; while from 1999–2003, in total 65 acute cases were reported [ 56 , 57 ]. Moreover, while individual accidental anisakiasis is more frequent in Europe, three massive outbreaks have been described in Spain [ 58 – 60 ]. In France another massive infection was reported in 6 people after consumption of raw herring.…”

BackgroundThis is the first report of anisakiasis in a Croatian patient, evidenced from an archival paraffin-embedded and hematoxylin-eosin stained tissue section. Anisakiasis has been only suspected in the country based on previously detected anti-Anisakis IgE seroprevalence in the healthy coastal population, as well as an acute case where pathohistological and serological findings suggested the diseases, but the migrating larva has not been retrieved.Case presentationSeventy years-old female, operated in 1998 for pulmonary carcinoma, was admitted to the General hospital Šibenik, Croatia in 2003, because of gastric pain and nausea that lasted for couple of days. She was showing good general condition, full mobility and lucidity, subfebrile status. Abdominal palpation inferred acute pain in paraumbilical and ileocecal region. Exploratory right pararectal laparotomy revealed a hardened, 5 cm-long structure, located intraluminally in the sigmoid colon, not perforating colon serosa. The process has been dissected and sent for patohistological diagnosis. Results showed a 2 mm-long whitish nematode spiralised in muscular layer of colon mucosa surrounded by granulomatous inflammation.ConclusionAfter genomic DNA isolation of the nematode from the histological section, and amplification at the mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase 2 locus, etiological agent has been identified as Anisakis pegreffii. Used methodology suggests that screening of archival suspicious sections is feasible in order to study epidemiology of this zoonotic disease poorly recognised in Croatia.

“…the number of hosts infected with one or more individuals of a particular parasite species, Bush et al, 1997) of larval anisakids can be very high (Chou et al, 2010). In some northern hemi-.......... sphere fisheries the prevalence has increased in recent years, enlarging the concern for human health and having adverse financial effects (Farjallah et al, 2006;Cabrera, 2010). There is an extensive world literature on Anisakis and anisakiosis.…”

Anisakis spp. burden in Trachurus trachurus

et al. 2012

16 SummaryAnisakis is a parasite of marine mammals that uses a great number of fish species as intermediate or paratenic hosts. It is common in commercially important marine fishes and its presence is of great concern for both human health and economic reasons. Horse mackerels (Trachurus trachurus) originated from the Northern Aegean Sea were examined for the presence of Anisakis spp. larvae. The prevalence of Anisakis spp. was found 98.8 %. The number of parasites was significantly related to the host's length but was not related to the fish gender. The month of sampling affected the size of the fishes and consequently the number of parasites. The length of larvae was not related to the host's length. The present study resulted in the design of a prediction model for the number of existing parasites in the fish by measuring only its Fixed Length.

“…Se han descrito infecciones por las especies Anisakis simplex, Anisakis physeteris, Pseudoterranova decipiens e Hysterothylacium spp. (2,5,6) . Además, algunos investigadores reportan que las manifestaciones clínicas del humano frente a los parásitos anisákidos están asociadas con el género al cual pertenece; así, los cuadros gastrointestinales se asocian con parásitos del género Pseudoterranova y los de hipersensibilidad con Anisakis (7,8) .…”

La anisakidosis es una parasitosis ocasionada por nematodos de la familia Anisakidae, causadapor el consumo de pescado parasitado con larvas infectivas (L3) de estos nematodos. EnEuropa y Asia es un problema de salud pública. Sin embargo, en Colombia y en general enlos países de América del Sur, es poco conocida. El objetivo de este trabajo es presentar unarevisión de las generalidades de los parásitos anisákidos y mostrar la situación actual de estaparasitosis en Colombia. Se realizó una búsqueda estructurada de términos MeSH y DeCS enMEDLINE, Cochrane, Embase, LILACS y Scopus; esta se complementó con otra no estructurada en SciELO y Google Scholar. Se incluye un reporte de caso y seis registros de hospederos. Se describen registros de peces de consumo humano parasitados por Anisakis sp., Anisakis physeteris y Pseudoterranova decipiens para el Océano Pacífico y, los géneros Pseudoterranova y Contracaecum en peces del Océano Atlántico y aguas continentales. Se concluye que la anisakidosis representa un riesgo latente para Colombia, es necesario instaurar legislaciones efectivas para un control eficiente sobre esta parasitosis y educar a la población sobre los cuidados necesarios para el consumo de pescado.
