“…Human infections by anisakids are not common in Brazil. However, several authors have reported the presence of these parasites in marine fish, generally in greater prevalences in comparison with other helminths (São Clemente et al, 1994;Luque, 2004;Knoff et al, 2007Knoff et al, , 2013Barros, 2012). Anisakid larvae have been reported by several authors in species of fish of economic importance such as: Anchoa tricolor, Netuma barba, Brevoortia aurea, Pagrus pagrus, Prionotus punctatus, Genypterus brasiliensis, Aluterus monoceros, Paralichthysis isoceles, Rhamdia quellen, Lophius gastrophysus, Lutjanus analis, Sardinella brasiliensis, and Selene setapinnis (Palm, 1997;São Clemente et al, 1994;Cordeiro and Luque, 2004;Bicudo et al, 2005;Knoff et al, 2007;Saad and Luque, 2009;Dias et al, 2010;Felizardo et al, 2009;La Rue et al, 2010;Saad et al, 2012;Knoff et al, 2013;Hermida et al, 2014;Moreira et al, 2015;Fontenelle et al, 2015).…”
