Article Synopsis
- Anisakid nematodes are parasites found in marine mammals, with three specific species identified in kogiid whales, including pygmy sperm whales.
- A study on a stranded pygmy sperm whale in Northeast Atlantic revealed the first known coexistence of adult stages of specific anisakid species, marking a northern range expansion for these parasites.
- Skrjabinisakis brevispiculata was the most prevalent species, indicating potential shifts in the host community or changes in feeding patterns as the whale migrates northward.
