Anisakidae Larvae Found in Marine Fishes and Squids From the Gulf of Tongking, the East China Sea and the Yellow Sea

Anisakis simplexallergy: a murine model of anaphylaxis induced by parasitic proteins displays a mixed Th1/Th2 pattern

“…Secondly, many patients with high exposure to A. simplex larvae (big consumers of fish, living in highly fish contaminated areas), are sensitized but do not refer clinical symptoms (subclinical sensitization). Third, the allergic patients develop symptoms only in very few occasions, and finally, only a small percentage of the patients who suffer gastric or intestinal anisakiasis, develop urticaria [32,33] as it is reported in large series of Japanese patients [34].…”

Molecular identification of Anisakis and Hysterothylacium larvae in marine fishes from the East China Sea and the Pacific coast of central Japan

“…Studies have demonstrated that the PCR-based restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis of the entire ITS region of rDNA can be employed effectively for the specific identification of anisakids (Abattouy et al, 2013;Pekmezci et al, 2014;Piras et al, 2014;Serracca et al, 2013b;Umehara et al, 2010). Anisakidae larvae have been reported in marine fishes and squids from the East China Sea in 1991 (Sun et al, 1991). However, accurate identification of these nematodes has not been conducted, and there is still scarce information on Anisakis infection in the small yellow croaker Pseudosciaena polyactis, the chub mackerel Pneumatophorus japonicus and the hairtail Trichiurus haumela, which are important food source in the East China Sea.…”

Parasitic Anisakid Nematode Isolated from Stranded Fraser’s Dolphin (Lagenodelphis hosei Fraser, 1956) from Central Philippine Waters

“…Pairwise comparison on the genetic distances (nucleotide, K2P, complete deletion, MEGA 5) and amino acid differences (in parentheses, complete deletion) in the mtDNA COX2 region between the current specimenswith other congeneric species deposited in the GenBank Table 2. Pairwise comparison on the percentage similarities on the mtDNA COX2 region between A. typica specimens from Fraser's dolphin with other deposited A. typica from the GenBank 2015), Onychoteuthi Moravec 1995, 2002;Sun et al 1991), and Histioteuthis (Culurgioni et al 2010). The identification of Anisakis species through a morphological examination of the posterior end of adult male specimens is a conventional approach in the taxonomical studies of anisakid worms.…”
