TLDR
The morphological and morphometric analyses revealed the presence of morphological features that differed among the 3 biological species, and the tree topologies support the finding that A. simplex (s.s.), A. pegreffii, and A. berlandi n.Abstract:
Numerous specimens of the 3 sibling species of the Anisakis simplex species complex (A. pegreffii, A. simplex (senso stricto)), and A. simplex sp. C) recovered from cetacean species stranded within the known geographical ranges of these nematodes were studied morphologically and genetically. The genetic characterization was performed on diagnostic allozymes and sequences analysis of nuclear (internal transcribed spacer [ITS] of ribosomal [r]DNA) and mitochondrial (mitochondrial [mt]DNA cox2 and rrnS) genes. These markers showed (1) the occurrence of sympatry of the 2 sibling species A. pegreffii and A. simplex sp. C in the same individual host, the pilot whale, Globicephala melas Traill, from New Zealand waters; (2) the identification of specimens of A. pegreffii in the striped dolphin, Stenella coeruleoalba (Meyen), from the Mediterranean Sea; and (3) the presence of A. simplex (s.s.) in the pilot whale and the minke whale, Balaenoptera acutorostrata Lacepede, from the northeastern Atlantic wa...read more

TL;DR: The first record of A. pegreffii and A. berlandi was reported in two individuals of O. orca and one specimen of franciscana Pontoporia blainvillei stranded from off the coast of Buenos Aires Province, Argentina as mentioned in this paper.

Anisakis spp. in toothed and baleen whales from Japanese waters with notes on their potential role as biological tags.

TL;DR: These baleen whale species are major definitive hosts for both A. Pegreffi and A. pegreffii in Japanese waters depending on locality, not only because they harbor large sized adults of both parasites in great proportions, but also due to the relatively mild lesions caused by the two Anisakis species in these hosts.

TL;DR: This study is the first to present data on a potential intermediate host of S. sulcata in the Mediterranean basin and to report a nematode parasite from the Mediterranean mussel.

TL;DR: There are significant biological structural associations of microbiota in anisakid nematodes which manifest in clusters of bacteria ranging from plyllum to genus level which could also be an indicator of degree of fish contamination or from the geographic zone of fish capture.
