Anisakis spp. burden in Trachurus trachurus

Abstract: 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 lengt… Show more

“…Host length has been previously described as a significant factor in the abundance of A. simplex (s.l.) in horse mackerel (Abattouy et al, 2014;Shawket et al, 2017;Tantanasi et al, 2012), but not combined with host weight, as in the present study. Also, an inverse direct correlation between A. simplex (s.l.)…”

“…9%). Our results show that the number of parasites is related to sex, which is in agreement with the findings reported by Tantanasi et al (2012) and Ichalal et al (2015). This result corroborates those reported by Mansour et al (2016), who recorded high infection (P = 70.0%) with Glugea sardinellensis (11-13 cm) in small fish specimens.…”

“…Anisakids spp. larvae are a worldwide distribution parasite commonly found in the flesh and the body cavity of many species of marine fishes as well as cephalopods that act as paratenic or transport hosts (Tantanasi, et al, 2012). Anisakids are ascaridoid nematodes dependent upon aquatic hosts for the completion of their life cycle, which generally involves an array of invertebrates and fish as intermediate or paratenic hosts, and marine mammals or fish-eating birds, reptiles and fishes as definitive hosts (Koinari et al, 2013).…”
