“…The sequence and phylogenetic analyses showed that the nematode larvae investigated in this study are closely related to C. multipapillatum, which is a species complex and it was shown that it consists of at least 4 distinct species found in the USA, Europe, and Australia (Nadler, D' Amelio, Fagerholm, Berland, & Paggi, 2000;Mattiucci, Turchetto, Bragantini, & Nascetti, 2002;D'Amelio et al, 2007;Shamsi et al, 2008).…”

Background: Nematodes of the family Anisakidae are parasites of many fishes and aquatic invertebrates which act as intermediate or paratenic hosts, while mammals and fish-eating birds are definitive hosts. Infective L3 larvae may be incidentally taken by human through eating raw or undercooked fish meat, causing anisakidosis. The main purpose of this study is to provide a basis for the future investigations to discover the genetic diversity of this widely distributed parasite nematodes of fishes and fish eating animals and their effect on fisheries and public health in Egypt and worldwide.

“…Using suitable genetic markers, electrophoretic and sequencing methods can overcome this limitation [15]. A number of studies have demonstrated that the first and second internal transcribed spacers (ITS-1 and ITS-2, respectively) of nuclear ribosomal DNA (rDNA) provide suitable genetic markers for the identification of anisakid species, irrespective of developmental stage [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27], and PCR-coupled mutation scanning of the ITS-1 and/or ITS-2 combined with targeted sequencing [28] provides a powerful approach for exploring the genetic composition of anisakid populations and for investigating their biology.…”

Mutation scanning‐based analysis of anisakid larvae from Sillago flindersi from Bass Strait, Australia

Anisakidosis is an important fish-borne disease caused by the larvae of anisakid nematodes, which affects humans and a range of other animals. The accurate identification of members of this nematode group is central to investigating the epidemiology of the parasites and in the surveillance and control of anisakidosis. It is now well known that morphological identification alone does not allow specific identification, particularly of larval stages. To better understand the epidemiology of anisakid nematodes in southern Australian fishes and the potential risks posed to human health, a survey of 50 specimens of the commercially important fish, Sillago flindersi, from Bass Strait, Australia was conducted. We characterised anisakid larvae by PCR-coupled mutation scanning, sequencing and phylogenetic analyses of the first and second internal transcribed spacers (ITS-1 and ITS-2) of nuclear ribosomal DNA. This study revealed that 92% of the S. flindersi examined were infected with anisakids (n=194), which were represented by seven genotypes. Phylogenetic analyses of the genotypes defined herein, together with reference sequence for Anisakis pegreffii and Hysterothylacium sp. from public databases (i.e. GenBank), revealed the presence of A. pegreffii (n=24), Hysterothylacium larval type IV (n=90) and Hysterothylacium larval type VIII (n=80) in S. flindersi. Thus, the PCR-coupled mutation scanning approach employed herein is an effective tool for the genetic characterisation of anisakid nematodes for diagnostic and analytical purposes (nucleotide sequences reported in this paper are available in the GenBank database under accession nos. JN631796-809).

SummaryContracaecum genus (Ascaridida: Anisakidae) is a nematode parasite of the fish-eating birds throughout the world. A heavy infection of Contracaecum sp. was detected at the necropsy of a Dalmatian pelican (Pelecanus crispus) that had been referred to an animal hospital due to trauma and died before the initiation of any treatment. Intense parasitic infection was seen in the proventriculus and within the lumen of oesophagus to duodenum. This is the first case of intense adult Contracaecum sp. infection in a piscivorous bird in Turkey. Keywords: Contracaecum sp, Infection, Pelican, Turkey Tepeli Pelikanda (Pelecanus crispus) Contracaecum sp. (Ascaridida: Anisakidae) Enfeksiyonu Olgusu ÖzetContracaecum cinsi (Ascaridida: Anisakidae), dünyanın birçok bölgesindeki balık yiyen su kuşlarının nematod parazitidir. Hayvan hastanesine travma teşhisi ile getirilen ve herhangi bir tedaviye başlamadan ölen bir tepeli pelikanın (Pelecanus crispus) nekropsisinde yoğun miktarda Contracaecum sp. görülmüştür. Kuşun proventrikülüsünün bu parazitlerle dolu olduğu, hatta özefagusun son bölümüne ve duodenuma kadar uzandığı gözlenmiştir. Bu olgu parazitin yoğunluğu bakımından ilginç bulunmuş olup, Türkiye'de bir su kuşunda olgun Contracaecum sp. 'nin ilk bildirimidir.
