“…Based on our results and previous data (Sapunar et al, 1976;Apt et al, 1980;Verhamme and Ramboer, 1988;Canese, 1995;Mercado et al, 1997Mercado et al, , 2001Torres, Canales et al, 2000), most of the 28 cases of anisakid worms recorded to date in Chile have been caused by Pseudoterranova sp. (89.3%) compared with 10.7% of cases by Anisakis sp.…”

“…(Amin et al, 2000). In Chile, most of the cases reported also were due to pseudoterranovosis, representing 10 of 13 cases of anisakid worms (Sapunar et al, 1976;Apt et al, 1980;Mercado et al, 1997Mercado et al, , 2001Verhamme and Ramboer, 1988;Canese, 1995;Torres, Canales et al, 2000). Two of the anisakid cases acquired in Chile after consumption of raw (cebiche) or smoked fish were diagnosed in Belgium and Paraguay, respectively; the first patient presented symptoms while traveling from Chile to his country of origin, and the second patient while temporarily occupied professionally in Paraguay (Verhamme and Ramboer, 1988;Canese, 1995).…”

In June 2005, we collected 115 fecal samples from wild primates in western Uganda and examined them for Cryptosporidium sp. and Giardia sp. with the use of immunofluorescent antibody (IFA) detection. We sampled primates from an undisturbed forest in Kibale National Park and from 3 highly disturbed forest fragments outside the park. Of disturbed forest samples, red colobus (Pilocolobus tephrosceles) and red-tailed guenons (Cercopithecus ascanius) harbored species of Cryptosporidium or Giardia, but black-and-white colobus (Colobus guereza) did not. All primate samples from undisturbed forest were negative for both parasites. Seven of 35 (20%) red colobus and 1 of 20 red-tailed guenons (5%) from forest fragments were infected with either Cryptosporidium sp. or Giardia sp. The presence of Cryptosporidium and Giardia species in primates living in forest fragments, but not in primates in undisturbed forest, suggests that habitat disturbance may play a role in transmission or persistence of these pathogens.

“…An important factor is that physicians in general do not have sufficient knowledge about this problem in South American countries, as stated above, and some authors think that the number of real cases is much higher than reported. Furthermore, Alvarez et al (2011) reported that the number of gnathostomiasis cases in Peru has increased significantly in recent years, Tuemmers et al (2014) reported that, in Chile, health problems from ‘sushi’ consumption more than doubled during 4 months of 2013 compared to the same period in 2012, and Torres et al (2000) mentioned the increase of anisakiasis in Chile. Thus, the need to inform people about the risks of eating raw fish is obvious.…”

Fish-borne nematodiases in South America: neglected emerging diseases

et al. 2017

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Fish-borne zoonotic nematodes may infect humans when fish or squid are ingested raw or inadequately cooked. Human infections may have serious consequences, including the unexpected deaths of infected people. This kind of disease is poorly known in general, and the characteristics of such infections in South American countries as a whole have never been assessed. In this paper the present status of fish-borne nematodiases in humans in South American countries is characterized. Potentially zoonotic nematode species are very common in both freshwater and marine fish in South America. Reports of human infections have only been found in some countries, and their incidence (especially with anisakids and Gnathostoma spp.) varies from country to country. Apparently they are more abundant in countries with strong traditions of eating raw fish, and are more frequent on the western coast of South America. So far fish-borne nematodes have been reported in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru. In recent years, cases of human infection have appeared in probably underestimated numbers. People need to be clearly informed about risky feeding habits, and physicians need to learn more about zoonotic diseases.

A case of accidental ingestion of Pseudoterranova decipiens is reported, on account of this patient we review main concepts related to this emerging pathology in Chile. Consumption of raw fish in different preparations such as sushi or sashimi, cebiche and seafood is becoming more and more popular. Through intermediary hosts used in the preparation, one can acquire the third stage larval of Anisakis simplex or P. decipiens. These parasites frequently cause gastritis, acutely after the consumption of raw fish, or more rarely intestinal involvement. It may also cause allergic symptoms such as urticaria, angioedema and anaphylactic shock. The larvae is eliminated spontaneously in most cases; others need to be removed by upper gastrointestinal endoscopic examination. In Chile, the most common species is P. decipiens, which are generally no invasive, rarely migrate beyond the stomach and cause mild or no symptoms. Prevention strategies include avoid eating raw fish or undercooked seafood containing the parasite, to cook food with high temperatures or to freeze raw fish prior to preparation of meals, which inactivates the larvae.Key words: Anisakidosis, anisakiosis, pseudoterranovosis, Anisakis simplex, Pseudoterranova decipiens, foodborne parasitic infections, fishborne parasitic infections, zoonoses.Palabras clave: anisakidosis, anisakiosis, pseudoterranovosis, Anisakis simplex, Pseudoterranova decipiens, enfermedades parasitarias transmitidas por alimentos, enfermedades parasitarias transmitidas por peces y mariscos, zoonosis. Introduccióne estima que las infecciones parasitarias transmitidas por alimentos afectan a más de 50 millones de personas en el mundo, cifra probablemente sub-estimada por la dificultad en el diagnóstico y una sub-notificación. La mayor incidencia de estas infecciones se encuentra en el Este y Sudeste asiático, situación que se está haciendo cada vez más frecuente en nuestro medio con los viajes a destinos exóticos y la incorporación de la comida oriental a los menús tradicionales. Las infecciones parasitarias son el resultado de la ingesta de alimentos crudos o mal cocidos. Comentario editorial en página 196. La mayoría de estos cuadros son producidos por nemátodos, tremátodos, céstodos y protozoos 1 . Presentamos el caso de una paciente que tras visitar un restaurante de comida japonesa, elimina con la tos una forma juvenil de nemátodo. Caso ClínicoPaciente de 30 años, sexo femenino, sana, residente en la ciudad de Santiago. Asistió a un restaurante de comida japonesa, donde degustó sushi de variados sabores, algunos de ellos preparados con salmón crudo. Al día siguiente, comenzó con tos y estornudos, se
