| anisakid parasites of two forkbeards (phycis blennoides and phycis phycis) from the mediterranean coasts of andalucía (southern spain). | an epidemiological survey of anisakids was carried out on 209 specimens of greater forkbeard (phycis blennoides) and 58 of forkbeard (phycis phycis) captured off the mediterranean coasts of andalucía (southern spain). four species of nematodes were identified: anisakis simplex s.l., anisakis physeteris, hysterothylacium aduncum and hysterothylacium fabri. the total prevalence was 62.06% in the forkbeard and 58.85% in the greater forkbeard. the highest values of prevalence (56.90%), mean intensit ... | 2006 | 16168705 |
| anisakid parasites of two forkbeards (phycis blennoides and phycis phycis) from the eastern mediterranean coasts in tunisia. | two gadiform species with a successive bathymetric and an ecological and economical importance in the mediterranean fishing industry, phycis blennoides and phycis phycis, were selected for the present study. a total of 592 fresh specimens belonging to the gadiformes genus were obtained from local commercial fisheries. the investigation was centred on anisakid parasites of 272 specimens of the greater forkbeard (p. blennoides) and 320 of the forkbeard (p. phycis) captured off the mediterranean co ... | 2006 | 16847607 |
| molecular arguments for considering hysterothylacium fabri (nematoda: anisakidae) a complex of sibling species. | the existence of sibling species is widespread among nematodes and the recognition of these has important epidemiological implications. in an attempt to establish whether this is the case for hysterothylacium fabri, which is present in many mediterranean fish species, we studied its genetic diversity and analysed its population structure. to do this, we used 266 fourth stage larvae of h. fabricollected from three different host species and used two different methods for characterising genetic va ... | 2003 | 12541064 |
| molecular characterization of hysterothylacium fabri (nematoda: anisakidae) from zeus faber (pisces: zeidae) caught off the mediterranean coasts of turkey based on nuclear ribosomal and mitochondrial dna sequences. | in the present study, hysterothylacium fabri was found in the coasts of the mediterranean sea, turkey and characterized by sequencing of nuclear (internal transcribed spacer, its) and mitochondrial (cytochrome c oxidase subunit 2, cox2) markers. pairwise comparison between the entire its fragment including its-1, 5.8s, its-2 sequences of the h. fabri isolates from the mediterranean sea (turkey, kc852206) and other h. fabri isolates from the south china sea (jq520158), the south korea waters (jx9 ... | 2014 | 24148286 |
| parasite communities in the red mullet, mullus barbatus l., respond to small-scale variation in the levels of polychlorinated biphenyls in the western mediterranean. | we examined parasite populations and communities in the mediterranean sentinel fish species, mullus barbatus, sampled at a small-scale pcb gradient at the shelf sediments off catalonian coasts of the western mediterranean. a recurrent feature at both the population and community level was the differentiation of the samples along the increasing pcb levels simultaneously registered in the sediments. both directly transmitted ectoparasites and endoparasites with complex life-cycles transmitted via ... | 2012 | 22748503 |
| occurrence of hysterothylacium and anisakis nematodes (ascaridida: ascaridoidea) in the tanaka's snailfish liparis tanakae (gilbert & burke) (scorpaeniformes: liparidae). | the tanaka's snailfish liparis tanakae (gilbert & burke) (scorpaeniformes: liparidae) is an economically important marine fish species in china. however, the helminth parasites of this fish are still poorly known. during a helminthological survey of chinese marine fishes from 2011 to 2012, we revealed that l. tanakae was heavily infected with third-stage larvae and adults of ascaridoid nematodes (total prevalence 100% and mean intensity 82.3 nematodes per fish). four species of third-stage larva ... | 2014 | 24464274 |
| molecular identification of anisakis and hysterothylacium larvae in marine fishes from the east china sea and the pacific coast of central japan. | anisakiasis is a human disease caused by the accidental ingestion of larvae belonging to the family anisakidae. three fish species, the small yellow croaker pseudosciaena polyactis, the mackerel pneumatophorus japonicus and the hairtail trichiurus haumela are important source for food products in the east china sea. the prevalence and the identification of anisakidae larvae in these fishes will benefit the prevention and control of anisakiasis. in this study, fish samples were obtained from fish ... | 2015 | 25617845 |
