TLDR
It is suggested that anisakiasis in Japan is mainly caused by A. simplex sensu stricto because it penetrates the muscle of the fish at a higher rate than A. pegreffii.

Molecular Epidemiology of Anisakis and Anisakiasis: An Ecological and Evolutionary Road Map.

TL;DR: This review addresses the biodiversity, biology, distribution, ecology, epidemiology, and consumer health significance of the so far known species of Anisakis, both in their natural hosts and in human accidental host populations, worldwide.
Journal ArticleDOI

First report of human anisakidosis in Australia.

TL;DR: The first human case of anisakidosis acquired from eating locally caught fish in Australia is presented, where a 41-year-old woman experienced gastrointestinal pain, vomiting and diarrhoea of increasing severity over 3 weeks that resolved spontaneously after a worm was passed in her faeces.
Journal ArticleDOI

Effects of anisakid nematodes Anisakis simplex (s.l.), Pseudoterranova decipiens (s.l.) and Contracaecum osculatum (s.l.) on fish and consumer health ☆

TL;DR: Clinical symptoms associated with the infection, termed anisakidosis, vary from irritation of the oesophagus and stomach, via nausea, vomiting and diarrhoea to severe epigastric and abdominal pain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Anisakis simplex sensu stricto and Anisakis pegreffii: Biological Characteristics and Pathogenetic Potential in Human Anisakiasis

TL;DR: Results show that A. simplex (s.s.) larvae have the potential to survive acidic gastric juice to some extent and penetrate the stomach, small intestine, colon, or colon in infected humans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Foodborne anisakiasis and allergy.

TL;DR: Some aspects of this food-borne disease are reviewed and its link to chronic, allergic conditions in humans is explained and its subsequent sensitisation of the human patient is explained.

MEGA4: Molecular Evolutionary Genetics Analysis (MEGA) Software Version 4.0

TL;DR: Version 4 of MEGA software expands on the existing facilities for editing DNA sequence data from autosequencers, mining Web-databases, performing automatic and manual sequence alignment, analyzing sequence alignments to estimate evolutionary distances, inferring phylogenetic trees, and testing evolutionary hypotheses.
Journal ArticleDOI

A simple, fast, and accurate algorithm to estimate large phylogenies by maximum likelihood.

TL;DR: This work has used extensive and realistic computer simulations to show that the topological accuracy of this new method is at least as high as that of the existing maximum-likelihood programs and much higher than the performance of distance-based and parsimony approaches.

Approximate likelihood-ratio test for branches : A fast, accurate, and powerful alternative

TL;DR: A new, fast, approximate likelihood-ratio test (aLRT) for branches is presented here as a competitive alternative to nonparametric bootstrap and Bayesian estimation of branch support and is shown to be accurate, powerful, and robust to certain violations of model assumptions.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genetic and ecological data on the Anisakis simplex complex, with evidence for a new species (Nematoda, Ascaridoidea, Anisakidae).

TL;DR: A new distinct gene pool was detected, showing different alleles with respect to A. simplex sensu stricto and Anisakis pegreffii, widely extending the geographic ranges and the number of hosts of these 2 species.
