the complete mitochondrial genome of pseudoterranova azarasi and comparative analysis with other anisakid nematodes.	anisakiasis/anisakidosis caused by anisakid nematodes is an emerging infectious disease that can cause a wide range of clinical syndromes and are difficult to diagnose and treat in humans. in spite of their significance as pathogens, the systematics, genetics, epidemiology and biology of these parasites remain poorly understood. in the present study, we sequenced the complete mitochondrial (mt) genome of pseudoterranova azarasi, which is one of the most important zoonotic anisakid parasites. the ...	2015	25998795
molecular identification of pseudoterranova azarasi larvae in cod (gadus sp.) sold for human consumption in brazil.	anisakiasis and pseudoterranovosis are human diseases caused by the ingestion of live anisakidae larvae in raw, undercooked or lightly marinated fish. larvae were collected from one salted cod sold for human consumption in a sao paulo market in 2013. one section of one brownish larva was used for molecular analyses. the partial cox2 gene sequence from the larva had a nucleotide identity of 99.8 % with pseudoterranova azarasi, which belongs to the pseudoterranova decipiens species complex. the ri ...	2015	27049712
