Abstract Surveillance data published since 2010, although limited, showed that there is no evidence of zoonotic parasite infection in market quality Atlantic salmon, marine rainbow trout, gilthead seabream, turbot, meagre, halibut, common carp and European catfish. No studies were found for greater amberjack, brown African catfish, eel pikeperch. Anisakis pegreffii, A. simplex (s. s.) Cryptocotyle lingua seabass, bluefin tuna and/or cod, Pseudamphistomum truncatum Paracoenogonimus ovatus...
Abstract Anisakiasis is an emerging zoonosis caused by the fish parasitic nematode Anisakis . Spain appears to have highest reported incidence in Europe and marinated anchovies are recognised as main food vehicle. Using data on fishery landings, infection rates consumption habits of Spanish population from questionnaires, we developed a quantitative risk assessment (QRA) model for anchovy value chain. Spaniards were estimated consume average 0.66 per untreated (non-frozen) raw or meal. A...
Consumption of raw or thermally inadequately treated fishery products represents a public health risk, with the possibility propagation live Anisakis larvae, causative agent zoonotic disease anisakidosis, anisakiasis. We investigated population dynamics spp. in commercially important fish-anchovies (Anisakis), sardines (Sardina pilchardus), European hake (Merluccius merluccius), whiting (Merlangius merlangus), chub mackerel (Scomber japonicus), and Atlantic bluefin tuna (Thunnus...

In countries with elevated prevalence of zoonotic anisakiasis and high awareness this parasitosis, a considerable number cases that associate Anisakis sp. (Nematoda, Anisakidae) different bowel carcinomas have been described. Although neoplasia embedded larvae were observed sharing the common site affected by chronic inflammation, no association between nematode malignancy directly proved. Similarly, data are available about effect secretory excretory products infecting at host's cellular...
Many parasites (protozoa and helminths) can be transmitted through food lead to infections with high morbidity, as well disease outbreaks. Although the importance of foodborne (FBP) is recognised by many sectors industry, standardized analytical methods validation procedures for testing FBP are lacking. Scope approach:Current detection FBP, their validation, critically reviewed, focusing on priority in Europe: helminths Echinococcus multilocularis, granulosus, Taenia saginata, Trichinella...
Abstract Global distribution of platyhelminth parasites and their host specificities are not well known. Our hypothesis was that large pelagic fishes common around the world. We analysed molecular variation in three different taxa infecting four species tunas: yellowfin tuna ( Thunnus albacares , Scombridae) from Western Australia, southern bluefin maccoyii South Pacific orientalis Mexico northern T. thynnus two localities Mediterranean (Spain Croatia). Comparisons ITS2 partial 28S rDNA...
This is the first report of anisakiasis in a Croatian patient, evidenced from an archival paraffin-embedded and hematoxylin-eosin stained tissue section. Anisakiasis has been only suspected country based on previously detected anti-Anisakis IgE seroprevalence healthy coastal population, as well acute case where pathohistological serological findings suggested diseases, but migrating larva not retrieved. Seventy years-old female, operated 1998 for pulmonary carcinoma, was admitted to General...
Six novel green extraction techniques were evaluated and optimized to extract pyrethrin from dried Dalmatian pyrethrum (Tanacetum cinerariifolium (Trevir./Sch.Bip.). This approach offers a promising natural alternative conventional chemotherapeutics. Four methods are presented for the first time in this study: microwave-assisted (MAE), high-voltage electric discharge (HVED) extraction, subcritical water (SWE), deep eutectic solvent (DES) together with supercritical CO2 (SC-CO2)...
Monogenean flatworms are the main fish ectoparasites inflicting serious economic losses in aquaculture. The polyopisthocotylean Sparicotyle chrysophrii parasitizes gills of gilthead sea bream (GSB, Sparus aurata) causing anaemia, lamellae fusion and sloughing epithelial cells, with consequent hypoxia, emaciation, lethargy mortality. Currently no preventive or curative measures against this disease exist therefore information on host-parasite interaction is crucial to find mitigation...
Abstract Background Anisakiasis is a foodborne disease caused by the third-stage larvae (L3) of two species belonging to genus Anisakis : pegreffii and simplex sensu stricto. Both have been subject different -omics studies undertaken in past decade, but reliable vitro culture protocol that would enable more versatile approach functional has never devised. In nature, A. shows polyxenous life-cycle. It reproduces toothed whales (final host) disseminates embryonated eggs via cetacean faeces...
Abstract Following the intensification of Mediterranean aquaculture over years, Sparicotyle (syn. Microcotyle ) chrysophrii (van Beneden and Hesse, 1863; Microcotylidae, Monogenea) became one most pathogenic ectoparasites for gilthead seabream ( Sparus aurata L.) aquaculture. It has demonstrated a remarkable versatility to expand its known host range, accomplish an efficient transfer between wild farmed sparid populations wide geographic areas, establish itself as detrimental pathogen. Even...
The main objective of the study was to determine degree sensitization Anisakis spp. antigens in healthy coastal population Dalmatia given high thermally unprocessed fish intake rate present this area, suggested as a significant risk factor for anisakiasis. We performed monocenter, cross-sectional pilot stratified by geographic area residence, conducted at County secondary healthcare provider Medicine-biochemical Laboratory Split (Croatia), from November 2010 till December 2011, on 500 unpaid...
