A multi-restriction fragment length polymorphism genotyping approach including the beta-tubulin gene as a new differential nuclear marker for the recognition of the cryptic species Anisakis simplex s.s. and Anisakis pegreffii and their hybridization events.

The detection of Anisakis simplex s.s./A.

Evaluation of different Mediterranean essential oils as prophylactic agents in anisakidosis.

Context: Anisakis Dujardin 1845 (Anisakidae) nematodes can cause gastrointestinal and allergic diseases when humans eat raw or undercooked seafood containing larvae. There is currently no drug available in the market against this parasitic disease, and the study of plant-derived molecules could be useful in the discovery of effective compounds.

Objective: This research assesses the biocidal activity of a range of essential oils (EOs) from some Mediterranean plants against larvae found in the musculature of fresh fish.

[Recognition of excretory/secretory antigens of Anisakis type I and evolution of IgE in experimentally infected rats].

Introduction: Anisakis spp., during parasitism, release excretory-secretory antigens that, in contact with the human immune system, can trigger a hypersensitivity response mediated by IgE, causing various allergic symptoms.

Objectives: To evaluate the IgE response in Wistar rats after infection with L3 larvae of the parasite Anisakis spp.
