Human cases of gastric anisakiasis caused by the zoonotic parasite Anisakis pegreffii are
increasing in Italy. The disease is caused by ingestion of larval nematodes in lightly cooked …

Tests for isolation by distance (IBD) are the most commonly used method of assessing
spatial genetic structure. Many studies have exclusively used mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) …

Marine nematodes of the genus Anisakis are common parasites of a wide range of aquatic
organisms. Public interest is primarily based on their importance as zoonotic agents of the …

Parasitic nematodes are highly diverse and common, infecting virtually all animal species,
and the importance of their roles in natural ecosystems is increasingly becoming apparent …

Amongst other factors, topographic features can influence the genetic variability among
populations of marine organisms. This applies to host species but also to their parasites …

The nematode genera Anisakis sl and Pseudoterranova (Anisakidae) include causative
agents of anisakiasis and pseudoterranovosis, parasitic diseases resulting from eating …

Larvae of the genus Pseudoterranova constitute a risk for human health when ingested
