“…The worldwide adoption of different cuisine, growth of better tools for diagnosis and greater knowledge on Anisakis and its infection, has resulted in significantly increased reporting of anisakiasis. Other countries in which cases of anisakiasis have been reported include Korea (Sohn et al, 2015), China (Qin et al, 2013), Malaysia (Amir et al, 2016), Taiwan (Li et al, 2015), the United Kingdom (Audicana and Kennedy, 2008), Spain (Herrador et al, 2018). , Italy (Mattiucci et al, 2018; Guardone et al, 2018), France (Audicana and Kennedy, 2008), Germany (Audicana and Kennedy, 2008), Denmark (Andreassen and Jorring, 1970), Norway (Jacobsen and Berland, 1969), Croatia (Mladineo et al, 2016), the United States of America (Kojima et al, 2013), Southern America (Borges et al, 2012; Eiras et al, 2018), Egypt (Audicana and Kennedy, 2008), South Africa (Audicana and Kennedy, 2008), and Australia (Shamsi and Butcher, 2011), implying anisakiasis occurrence in all continents of the globe excluding Antarctica.…”

Anisakidosis is a zoonotic parasitosis induced by members of the family Anisakidae. The anisakid genera includes Anisakis, Pseudoterranova, Hysterothylacium and Contracaecum . The final definitive hosts of these nematodes are marine mammals with a complex life cycle. These nematode parasites use different crustaceans and fish species as intermediate or paratenic hosts and humans are accidental hosts. Human anisakiasis, the infections caused by members of the genus Anisakis, occurs , when seafoods, particularly fish, contaminated with the infective stage (third stage larvae [L3]) of this parasite, are consumed. Pseudoterranovosis, on the other hand is induced by members of the genus Pseudoterranova. These two genera of anisakids have been implicated in human disease globally. There is a rise in reports of gastro-intestinal infections accompanied by allergic reactions caused by Anisakis simplex and Anisakis pegreffii . This review provides an update on current knowledge on Anisakis as a food-borne parasite with special focus on the increasingly reported diversity of fish and crustacean hosts, allergens and immunological cross-reactivity with invertebrate proteins rendering this parasite a significant public health issue.

“…Anisakidosis is a globally distributed disease caused by the consumption of marine animals, mainly poorly cooked or raw fish due to the acquisition of new gastronomic habits from different cultures (Tokiwa et al, 2018). When the parasite is ingested alive it has the ability to survive for a short period of time in the human body and can adhere to various tissues, such as the esophagus, stomach, duodenum, jejunum, ileum, or colon, generating a primary inflammatory response (Amir et al, 2016). Clinical manifestations include moderate or severe allergies, angioedema, hypotension, bronco spasms, anaphylactic shock, and asthma (Nieuwenhuizen & Lopata, 2014).…”

“…Clinical manifestations include moderate or severe allergies, angioedema, hypotension, bronco spasms, anaphylactic shock, and asthma (Nieuwenhuizen & Lopata, 2014). Clinical symptoms are nonspecific and include epigastralgia, nausea, vomiting, bloating with intense pain, and, in chronic stages of infection, eosinophilic granulomas and edema at the site of the lesion (Amir et al, 2016). The objective of this work was to perform a systematic necropsy of Mugil curema from fish markets in Tulancingo, Hidalgo, to determine the presence of Anisakidae nematodes and other parasitic genera.…”

Anisakisspp. nematodes are potentially zoonotic parasites; that infects a wide variety of aquatic species worldwide, with marine fish being the paratenic hosts. The aim of study was identify the presence of Anisakidae nematodes, and other parasites in Mugil curema . A total of 96 M . curema obtained from local markets in Tulancingo, Hidalgo, Mexico, were analyzed by necropsy. Only five M . curema present nematode collection in epaxial muscle. The tissues with the highest prevalence of parasites were identified, and samples of epaxial muscle with larval migration analyzed by histopathology. Visible parasites in necropsy tissues were classified according to their morphology. Nematode found in the liver were Contracaecum spp. (41.17%) and Pseudoterranova spp. third stage (7.36%); in the caudal part of the kidney were Anisakis spp. (13.23%), Pseudoterranova spp. third stage (11.77%) and Contracaecum spp. (5.88%); and in epaxial muscle were Anisakis spp. Larva I (5.88%) and Pseudoterranova spp (4.42%). In one fish, Clinostomum spp. was detected in epaxial caudal muscle. The present work reports for the first time the presence of nematodes of the family Anisakidae and Clinostonum spp. metacercariae, with zoonotic potential, in M . curema intended for human consumption in Tulancingo, Hidalgo, Mexico.

“…simplex s.s has been described more frequently in countries where the consumption of raw fish meat is a culinary tradition, such as in Japan, Peru and Mexico [ 119 ]. More than 90% of the zoonosis cases reported in humans have been in Japan, about 2000 cases/year being registered [ 120 , 121 , 122 , 123 ]. In Europe, 500 cases/year are reported, in Germany, France, Spain and the Netherlands [ 124 , 125 , 126 ] ( Table 2 , Figure 3 ).…”

Nematodes of the Anisakidae family have the ability to infest a wide variety of aquatic hosts during the development of their larval stages, mainly marine mammals, aquatic birds, such as pelicans, and freshwater fish, such crucian carp, these being the hosts where the life cycle is completed. The participation of intermediate hosts such as cephalopods, shrimp, crustaceans and marine fish, is an important part of this cycle. Due to morphological changes and updates to the genetic information of the different members of the family, the purpose of this review was to carry out a bibliographic search of the genus and species of the Anisakidae family identified by molecular tests, as well as the geographical area in which they were collected. The Anisakidae family is made up of eight different parasitic genera and 46 different species. Those of clinical importance to human health are highlighted: Anisakis pegreffi, A. simplexsensu stricto, Contracaecumosculatum, Pseudoterranova azarazi, P. cattani, P. decipiens and P. krabbei. The geographical distribution of these genera and species is located mainly in the European continent, Asia and South America, as well as in North and Central America and Australia. Based on the information collected from the Anisakidae family, it was determined that the geographical distribution is affected by different environmental factors, the host and the ability of the parasite itself to adapt. Its ability to adapt to the human organism has led to it being considered as a zoonotic agent. The disease in humans manifests nonspecifically, however the consumption of raw or semi-raw seafood is crucial information to link the presentation of the parasite with the disease. The use of morphological and molecular tests is of utmost importance for the correct diagnosis of the genus and species of the Anisakidae family.
