title: Anisakidae in Fishing Products Sold in Sicily.
abstract: One of the parasite diseases associated with the consumption of raw fish that occurs with some frequency is the anisakiasis, a human disease caused by the accidental ingestion of larval nematodes of the genusAnisakis, family Anisakidae. At the National Reference Centre for Anisakiasis (C.Re.N.A.) from October 2012 to February 2013, a number of 231 bony fish (Trichiuridae, Engraulidae, Scombridae and Clupeidae) were received from different fishing sites in Sicily.Anisakis pegreffiiis the main species detected in fish, as identified by molecular analysis based on polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism, whileAnisakis simplex sensu strictowas found only inScomber scombruscaught in the Mediterranean Sea (Fishing Areas 37), in the Spanish coast (Fishing Areas 37) and in the Atlantic Ocean (Fishing Areas 34). Larvae of the genusPseudoterranovawere found only in fish caught in the Norwegian Sea.
