“…1, 2, and 3). These characteristic features of L3 larvae were identical to Anisakis larvae type I, particularly the long ventriculus and mucron at the posterior larval end (Mattiucci et al 2018;Shamsi 2021). These larvae also displayed short rounded tails with a characteristic cylindrical bently protruded mucron measuring 0.018 ± 0.002 (0.0162-0.027) mm long, much similar to previous descriptions of Tunya et al (2020) and Hien et al (2021).…”

“…Anisakis type I larvae have a longer ventriculus and a distinct mucron, including A. simplex s.s., A. pegreffii, A. typica, A. ziphidarum, A. berlandi, and A. nascettii, while types II-IV larvae have a shorter ventriculus and no mucron, including A. physeteris, A. brevispiculata, and A. paggiae respectively (Murata et al 2011;Mattiucci et al 2018;Shamsi 2021).…”

Anisakidosis is a foodborne zoonotic infection induced by members of the family Anisakidae via the consumption of raw or undercooked fish such as sushi and sashimi. Identifying anisakid larval species is critical for the epidemiology and diagnosis of diseases caused by them. This study aimed at identifying Anisakis larvae collected from marine fish in Egyptian waters based on morphological characteristics and molecular analysis. Thirty marine fish bar-cheeked trout, Plectropomus maculatus, were collected from Hurghada, Red Sea, Egypt, to investigate larval nematodes of the genus Anisakis. The larvae were detected encapsulated in the peritoneal cavity and muscle of the fish host. This examination revealed that anisakid larvae naturally infected 19 fish specimens with a prevalence of 63.33% and a mean intensity of 4.1 ± 0.40. Most of them (68 larvae: 71.57%) were found in the musculature. Morphological and morphometric analyses using light and scanning electron microscopy revealed a head region with a prominent boring tooth, inconspicuous lips, and a characteristic protruded cylindrical mucron. All larvae in this study possessed the same morphology as Anisakis Larval type I. Molecular analysis based on ITS region using maximum likelihood and Bayesian phylogenetic methods confirmed them as Anisakis typica. This is the first study to identify A. typica larvae from the commercial fish bar-cheeked trout P. maculatus in Egyptian waters using morphological and molecular methods.

“…larvae in recent years in fishes from New South Wales (Australia) waters was recently reported despite a common and increasing population of marine mammals in the region (reviewed by Shamsi (2021) ). Shamsi (2021) hypothesized that the remarkable finding may be explained by environmental changes or a dramatic decline in the population of crustacean intermediate hosts. Further parasitological studies in the same and other important fish species (e.g.…”

“…Climate change and anthropogenic activities have and likely will in the future impact marine biodiversity (Asch et al 2018;Worm and Lotze 2021). Changes in marine food webs and zoogeographical distributions of intermediate and final hosts go along with changes in parasite abundance and infection patterns (Shamsi 2021). This could introduce marine parasitic zoonoses or parasitic fish diseases to new regions and call for more parasitological research in affected regions.…”

Despite being an important component of the marine ecosystem and posing health risks to human seafood consumers, fish parasites in Indonesia have yet to be adequately described. Here, we analyzed the diet and metazoan parasite fauna of seven commercial fish species (Alectis indica, Carangoides chrysophrys, Johnius borneensis, Mene maculata, Trichiurus lepturus, Upeneus asymmetricus, U. moluccensis) landed in Java, Indonesia. We isolated 11 endoparasite species, established 22 new host and 14 new locality records, and extended parasitological records of A. indica by 24%, C. chrysophrys by 25%, J. borneensis by 40%, M. maculata by 44%, U. asymmetricus by 100%, and U. moluccensis by 17%. We genetically identified the trematode Stephanostomum cf. uku (of Bray et al. 2005) from Alecta indica for the first time in Indonesia and provided the sequence of its 28S marker. Stomach content analysis revealed seven different prey items, and the examined fish species were grouped into four feeding categories, which differed significantly in their respective endoparasite fauna. All but two examined fish species hosted potentially zoonotic nematodes, which reveal a risk for parasite-borne diseases in Indonesian food fishes and call for more consequent monitoring with regard to seafood safety in this region. With this study, we were able to establish an association between the feeding ecology and the endoparasite fauna of marine fishes which will help to better understand the transmission pathways of (potentially zoonotic) parasites in food fishes in tropical waters.
