Anisakis simplex (Nematoda: Ascaridoidea): Formation of Immunogenic Attachment Caps in Pigs
نویسنده
چکیده
Anisakis simplex larvae maintained in simple salt solutions were observed attached to the surface of a petri dish in vitro by a translucent cap. Previous reports attributed the formation of these caps to contributions by human serum. Dissolved caps reacted in Western blot with the sera of rabbits sensitized with A simplex excretory-secretory products. Caps were demonstrated in vivo in the mucosae of experimentally infected miniature swine; they were partially composed of larval excretory-secretory products and remained embedded in stomach mucosae after removal of the invasive larvae.

Nematodes from the superfamily Ascaridoidea (families Anisakidae and Raphidascarididae) are worldwide distributed parasites. Their live cycles include many species of water invertebrates and teleostean fish as intermediate hosts, and fish, sea mammals or fish-eating birds being definitive hosts. Humans can be infected with some of these parasites after consumption of raw or wrongly processed fi...

Parasitic nematodes are known as important pathogens that cause problems for human and animal health. Some of them naturally inhabit the marine environment, where they are widespread and can be found in a variety of different hosts. Food-borne zoonoses via aquatic animals are most often linked to anisakid nematodes of the genera Anisakis Dujardin, 1845, Contracaecum Railliet and Henry, 1912, an...

Here, we present the ITS ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequence data on 330 larvae of nematodes of the genus Anisakis Dujardin, 1845 collected from 26 different bony fish species from 21 sampling locations and different climatic zones. New host records are provided for Anisakis simplex (Rudolphi, 1809) sensu stricto (s.s.) and A. pegreffli Campana-Rouget et Biocca, 1955 from Anoplopoma fimbria (Pallas) ...

The population structure and habitat selection of Anisakis simplex in 35 harbor porpoises off Denmark are described. The nematodes were collected from the stomach and duodenal ampulla and were categorized as third-stage larvae, fourth-stage larvae, subadults, and adults. The porpoises harbored 8,043 specimens of A. simplex. The proportion of adults and subadults increased with infrapopulation s...
