| human anisakiasis transmitted by marine food products. | seafood-transmitted parasitic diseases represent an emerging area of interest to the u.s. food and drug administration. human infections with marine parasites are generally the result of ingesting uncooked seafood products. over 50 species of helminthic parasites are known to infect humans worldwide. recently, the number of infections with one of these helminths, the juvenile stage of the marine nematode, anisakis simplex, has increased in the united states. raw fish dishes such as lomi lomi sal ... | 1991 | 2022472 |
| invasive anisakiasis. a case report from hawaii. | a confirmed case of penetration into the stomach wall by an anisakine nematode, to our knowledge the first in the united states, is reported. a viable third-stage larva of anisakis simplex was removed from a woman in hawaii who had eaten fresh, raw salmon. a serodiagnostic test showed the serum of the patient to be positive for a. simplex-specific ige at days 11 and 60 postinfection. our results indicate that eating fresh, raw salmon exposes consumers to a significant health risk. | 1986 | 3949105 |
| molecular differentiation and phylogenetic relationships of three angiostrongylus species and angiostrongylus cantonensis geographical isolates based on a 66-kda protein gene of a. cantonensis (nematoda: angiostrongylidae). | the phylogenetic relationships and molecular differentiation of three species of angiostrongylid nematodes (angiostrongylus cantonensis, angiostrongylus costaricensis and angiostrongylus malaysiensis) were studied using the ac primers for a 66-kda protein gene of a. cantonensis. the ac primers successfully amplified the genomic dna of these angiostrongylid nematodes. no amplification was detected for the dna of ascaris lumbricoides, ascaris suum, anisakis simplex, gnathostoma spinigerum, toxocar ... | 2010 | 20566366 |
