Complete Information on Anisakiasis with Treatment and Prevention

POSTED BY admin on May 4, 2008 under Uncategorized

Anisakiasis is a zoonotic disease.

 Anisakiasis is the disease caused by infection with Anisakis worms. It is frequently reported in areas of the world where fish is consumed raw, lightly pickled or salted. The disease is caused by the ingestion of larval nematodes in raw seafood dishes such as sushi, sashimi, ceviche, and pickled herring. They are infective to humans and cause Anisakiasis, and fish which have been infected with Anisakis spp. can produce an anaphylactic reaction in people who have become sensitized to Immunoglobulin E. Anisakis spp. have a complex life cycle which passes through a number of hosts through the course of its life. Aniskiasis is contracted when inadequately cooked fish containing these nematode larvae are eaten. Infection is diagnosed after surgical intervention for intestinal obstruction or peritonitis, which is caused by necrotizing, eosinophilic, granulomatous inflammation.
