Occurrence of Anisakis sp. in fishes off the Portuguese west coast and evaluation of its zoonotic potential

The occurrence and migration of Anisakis sp. L3 larvae were studied in twelve species of fish off the Portuguese West coast. The prevalence varied between 0.0% and 100%, and the intensity of the infection varied between 0 and 89 parasites per fish. Both factors were not related with the sex nor the...

Zusammenfassung:The occurrence and migration of Anisakis sp. L3 larvae were studied in twelve species of fish off the Portuguese West coast. The prevalence varied between 0.0% and 100%, and the intensity of the infection varied between 0 and 89 parasites per fish. Both factors were not related with the sex nor the length of the hosts. The migration of the parasites to the flesh after the death of the host was observed in some specimens, and was not related with the lipid content of the flesh.
