anisakidosis: perils of the deep.	anisakidosis, human infection with nematodes of the family anisakidae, is caused most commonly by anisakis simplex and pseudoterranova decipiens. acquired by the consumption of raw or undercooked marine fish or squid, anisakidosis occurs where such dietary customs are practiced, including japan, coastal regions of europe, and the united states. severe epigastric pain, resulting from larval invasion of the gastric mucosa, characterizes gastric anisakidosis; other syndromes are intestinal and ecto ...	2010	20804423
helminth parasites in ringed seals (pusa hispida) from svalbard, norway with special emphasis on nematodes: variation with age, sex, diet, and location of host.	complete gastrointestinal tracts from 257 ringed seals (pusa hispida) from svalbard, norway, were examined for helminth parasites. three different helminth groups were recorded (acanthocephalans 61.1%; nematodes 38%; cestodes 0.9%). acanthocephalans (polymorphidae) and cestodes (anophryocephalus and diphyllobothrium sp(p)., as well as unidentified species, were confined to the intestines. the anisakid nematodes phocascaris phocae, pseudoterranova sp(p)., anisakis sp(p)., and phocascaris/contraca ...	2010	20950103
molecular characterization and phylogeny of anisakid nematodes from cetaceans from southeastern atlantic coasts of usa, gulf of mexico, and caribbean sea.	in the present study, 407 anisakid nematodes, collected from 11 different species of cetaceans of the families delphinidae, kogiidae, physeteridae, and ziphiidae, from the southeastern atlantic coasts of usa, the gulf of mexico, and the caribbean sea, were examined morphologically and genetically characterized by pcr restriction fragment length polymorphism to identify them to species level, assess their relative frequencies in definitive hosts, and determine any host preference. sequence data f ...	2011	21212982
[a study of the infection and physicochemical characteristics of the marine fish infected by anisakis l₃ caught in zhoushan fishery].	the aim of this research was to investigate the third phase anisakis simplex larvae (anisakis l₃) infection in marine fish caught in zhoushan fishery and to find out its physicochemical and biological characteristics.	2010	21215135
