The occurrence of the nematodes anisakis simplex pathogenic to man in pike-perch from the Vistula Lagoon, Poland.
Of the 400 pike-perches examined, 12% were infected with L3 Anisakis simplex. The infected fish were over 45 cm long. The hypothesis submitted was that the pike-perches may constitute the source of infection in accidental hosts, i.e. in man.
