ANISERP: a new serpin from the parasite Anisakis simplex

Anisakis simplex: current knowledge.

Anisakiasis, firstly described in 1960s in the Netherlands, is a fish-borne parasitic disease caused by the consumption of raw or undercooked fish or cephalopods contaminated by third stage (13) larvae of the Anisakidae family, in particular Anisakis simplex (As), A. pegreffii and Pseudoterranova decipiens. Every year, approximately 20,000 cases of anisakiasis were reported worldwide, over 90% ...

Objective: To define incidence and prevalence of asthma and others allergic diseases in population of less than 5 years of age in Juarez Hospital Mexico. Results: We ev...

Characterisation of potential novel allergens in the fish parasite Anisakis simplex

The parasitic nematode Anisakis simplex occurs in fish stocks in temperate seas. A. simplex contamination of fish products is unsavoury and a health concern considering human infection with live larvae (anisakiasis) and allergic reactions to anisakid proteins in seafood. Protein extracts of A. simplex produce complex band patterns in gel electrophoresis and IgE-immunostaining. In the present st...

Anaphylaxis by inhalation of allergenic proteins from Anisakis simplex

Method We report a 50 year old patient, who works as a cook. A year ago she presented two episodes of anaphylaxis after eating undercooked fresh fish. Thereafter she removed raw fish from her diet. Ten months later after handling fish (eviscerating it), an hour after hand injuring, she presented itching hands and head, epigastric pain, nausea and severe generalized urticaria.
