| parasitic helminth fauna of the cutlass fish, trichiurus lepturus l., and the differentiation of four anisakid nematode third-stage larvae by nuclear ribosomal dna sequences. | the helminth fauna of the gastrointestinal tract and abdominal cavity of cutlass fish, trichiurus lepturus l., off the taiwanese coast of the north-western pacific was investigated. the following helminths were found: (1) nematodes--anisakis simplex, hysterothylacium aduncum, porrocaecum decipiens, raphidascaris trichiuri; (2) digeneans--adult lecithochirium trichiuri; and (3) cestodes-plerocercoids of proteocephalus spp. the third-stage larvae of these four anisakid nematodes were characterized ... | 2004 | 15133659 |
| anisakis simplex (nematoda: anisakidae) third-stage larval infections of marine cage cultured cobia, rachycentron canadum l., in taiwan. | the first confirmed case of anisakis simplex infection of the marine cage cobia, rachycentron canadum (l.), was recorded in taiwan. the case investigation revealed the presence of third-stage larvae (l3) in either the stomach lumen or abdominal cavity of the cobia but never within the musculatures. larvae were mainly encapsulated in the peritoneal mesentery on the outer surface of the stomach wall and occasionally on the liver surface. part of the diet fed to the cobia includes chopped raw fish, ... | 2010 | 20400227 |
| 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 |
| parasitism between anisakis simplex (nematoda: anisakidae) third-stage larvae and the spotted mackerel scomber australasicus with regard to the application of stock identification. | the nematode fauna of 369 spotted mackerel of the species scomber australasicus, collected off the northeastern taiwanese coast of the northwestern pacific, was investigated monthly from april 2004 to march 2005. the following nematode species were recorded: anisakis simplex complex, hysterothylacium aduncum, porrocaecum decipiens and raphidascaris trichiuri. the seasonal variation in the infection with a. simplex third stage larva (l3) was studied throughout the 12 months. the prevalence of a. ... | 2010 | 21211909 |
| 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 |
