| multiple primer pcr for the identification of anisakid nematodes from taiwan strait. | there were six major larval anisakid species found in commercial marine fishes caught in the minnan fishing ground in the taiwan strait: anisakis physeteris, anisakis pegreffii, raphidascaris trichiuri, contracaecum aduncum, contracaecum muraenesoxi, contracaecum sp. for rapid identification of the parasite species above, a single and a multiple primer pcr (multiplex pcr) method, using specific primers based on aligned sequences of the internal transcribed spacer its-1, 5.8s, and its-2 of nuclea ... | 2010 | 19751726 |
| molecular identification of anisakis type i larvae isolated from hairtail fish off the coasts of taiwan and japan. | anisakid nematodes are known to cause the zoonotic disease, anisakiasis, through the consumption of raw or undercooked fish. the parasites most frequently associated with the disease in humans are categorized as anisakis type i, which comprise several species of the genus anisakis. the larvae show primitive forms and lack the detailed morphological characteristics required for precise species identification. thus, molecular characterization is necessary for determining the species of anisakis ty ... | 2010 | 20826034 |
| scavenging hagfish as a transport host of anisakid nematodes. | hagfish are the most primitive craniates and scavengers, feeding on dead organisms as well as fish and invertebrates. hagfish play an important ecological role in recycling nutrients, helping to recycle biomass from the upper water column. we investigated 265 specimens of four hagfish species, including eptatretus burgeri, eptatretus yangi, eptatretus sheni and eptatretus taiwanae from northeastern taiwanese waters of the northwestern pacific from november 2013 to june 2014. eight species of ani ... | 2016 | 26872923 |
| occurrence and prevalence of fish-borne anisakis larvae in the spotted mackerel scomber australasicus from taiwanese waters. | anisakid nematodes have been found in a variety of marine fishes throughout the world and they are known to cause anisakiasis in human hosts. the present study investigated the prevalence of potentially zoonotic anisakid larvae in spotted mackerel caught from taiwanese waters where fish represents an important food sources. anisakis third-stage larvae (l3, n=502) were isolated from 250 spotted mackerel scomber australasicus. anisakis l3 larvae were divided morphologically into two types, anisaki ... | 2015 | 25733490 |
| effect of different temperatures on the expression of the newly characterized heat shock protein 90 (hsp90) in l3 of anisakis spp. isolated from scomber australasicus. | anisakid nematodes are distributed worldwide in a wide variety of marine fishes and they are known to cause the zoonotic disease, anisakiasis. the temperature control is commonly applied for prevention and control of anisakiasis. to analyze the cellular response to temperature stress in anisakis, the heat shock protein 90 (hsp90) was chosen in the present study, as it plays a key role in many cellular processes and responds to stress conditions such as heat or cold shock. anisakids were sampled ... | 2014 | 25269988 |
