“…The highest mean intensity was found in the intermediate host size class 40-43 cm. It must be stressed that a relationship between infection level and age or length of the host can be expected for parasites like A. simplex which produce a long term infestation [16]. In the most marine fish, there is a wide range of common parasites, such as larvae and adults of A. simplex [17][18][19].…”

“…Infection by Pseudoterranova sp. larvae was reported in angler fish by Skov (2009) in Danish waters. Myjak et al (1994) found two P. decipiens larvae in a single cod caught off the Polish coast out of 3036 cod sampled in the southern Baltic (subdivisions 24 -26), while Perdiguero-Alonso et al (2008) recorded 3.9% and 0.07 ± 0.39 prevalence and mean abundance (± SD), respectively, in cod (n = 180) from off the south-eastern coast of Sweden, corresponding roughly to ICES subdivisions 25 and 27.…”

Scientific Opinion on assessment of epidemiological data in relation to the health risks resulting from the presence of parasites in wild caught fish from fishing grounds in the Baltic Sea

For fishery products caught from fishing grounds in the Baltic Sea, four groups of viable parasites present possible health risks, Anisakis simplex (sensu stricto), Contracaecum osculatum (sensu stricto), Pseudoterranova decipiens (sensu stricto) and Diphyllobothrium spp. Since A. simplex and Pseudoterranova decipiens have been found in fishery products in International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) subdivisions 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, public health risks due to the presence of these parasites cannot be excluded in any fishery products caught from these areas. Migrating fish from areas where A. simplex, and to a lesser degree P. decipiens, occur may carry these parasites and reach the northern Baltic, therefore, public health risks due to parasites in all migrating fish (including salmon) in Baltic Sea cannot be excluded. C. osculatum occurs in fish throughout all areas of the Baltic Sea. However, at present it is not possible to assess the public health importance of viable C. osculatum larvae in fishery products. Diphyllobothrium spp. occurs in fish species in brackish waters of Baltic Sea. Hence all freshwater fish as well as migrating fish, including sea trout and whitefish, are of public health importance if consumed raw, since they may carry viable parasites. More research is needed to elucidate the importance of C. osculatum from fish as a source of human infection, including pathogenicity of this parasite and the anatomic distribution of the parasite in edible parts of the fish. In order to definitively identify species of anisakids, genetic/molecular methods should be more widely applied to material from all hosts of the Baltic Sea. Surveillance of anisakiasis and other parasitic infections in the human population in Baltic Sea countries should be improved.

“…However, in the North Sea and Norwegian Sea, A. simplex sensu stricto appears to be the only species present [2,3]. The Anisakis life cycle involves various marine mammals as definitive host, planktonic crustaceans-mainly krill-as intermediate host, and fishes and possibly squids as transport host, transferring the larvae from krill to whales.…”

There is a growing awareness by consumers and food safety authorities regarding the possible presence of parasites or parasite-related potentially hazardous substances in seafood. Anisakis simplex is among the most frequently occurring parasites in wild-caught marine fish. Except for various visual inspection techniques and PCRbased methods for the detection of more or less intact worms or parasite DNA, respectively, there are at present no validated methods for the quantification of A. simplex proteins in processed fish products. This work describes the development and validation of a sandwich enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) for the quantification and analysis of proteins from A. simplex in seafood products. The ELISA is based on a polyclonal rabbit anti-A. simplex antibody for capture and a biotinylated conjugate of the same antibody for detection. The ELISA is specific for A. simplex and does not cross-react with other species. Recoveries ranged from 72-101% in typical food matrixes, while intra-and inter-assay precisions were \11 and \25%, respectively. With a limit of detection of 1.1 lg A. simplex protein/g of sample, the sensitivity of the A. simplex sandwich ELISA appears to be sufficient to detect even low levels in seafood products.
