Australian anisakids are mainly known through the works of 33 21 Australia 22 Anisakidosis Johnson and Mawson in the mid 20th century. Although the use of advanced morphological and molec- 34 23 Taxonomy ular techniques to study anisakids had a late start in Australia, great biodiversity was found and unique 35 24 species were discovered. Here an updated list of members within the family and the current state of 36 knowledge on Australian anisakids will be provided. Given that the employment of advanced techniques 37 to study these important emerging zoonotic parasites in Australia is recent, further research is needed to 38 understand the ecology and biology of these socio economically important parasites. After a recent 39 human case of anisakidosis in Australia, such understanding is crucial if control and preventive strategies 40 are to be established in this country. 41 Ó 2014 The Authors.

However, to date only 2% of these publications are about 82 Australian anisakids.

  • Parasites of Coral Reef Fish: How Much Do We Know? with a Bibliography of Fish Parasites in New Caledonia
    Belg. J. Zool., 140 (Suppl.): 155-190 July 2010 Parasites of coral reef fish: how much do we know? With a bibliography of fish parasites in New Caledonia Jean-Lou Justine (1) UMR 7138 Systématique, Adaptation, Évolution, Muséum National d’Histoire Naturelle, 57, rue Cuvier, F-75321 Paris Cedex 05, France (2) Aquarium des lagons, B.P. 8185, 98807 Nouméa, Nouvelle-Calédonie Corresponding author: Jean-Lou Justine; e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. A compilation of 107 references dealing with fish parasites in New Caledonia permitted the production of a parasite-host list and a host-parasite list. The lists include Turbellaria, Monopisthocotylea, Polyopisthocotylea, Digenea, Cestoda, Nematoda, Copepoda, Isopoda, Acanthocephala and Hirudinea, with 580 host-parasite combinations, corresponding with more than 370 species of parasites. Protozoa are not included. Platyhelminthes are the major group, with 239 species, including 98 monopisthocotylean monogeneans and 105 digeneans. Copepods include 61 records, and nematodes include 41 records. The list of fish recorded with parasites includes 195 species, in which most (ca. 170 species) are coral reef associated, the rest being a few deep-sea, pelagic or freshwater fishes. The serranids, lethrinids and lutjanids are the most commonly represented fish families. Although a list of published records does not provide a reliable estimate of biodiversity because of the important bias in publications being mainly in the domain of interest of the authors, it provides a basis to compare parasite biodiversity with other localities, and especially with other coral reefs. The present list is probably the most complete published account of parasite biodiversity of coral reef fishes.

Hence when a patient presents with atypical gastroenteritis, bacterial and viral infection is often the presumptive diagnosis.

Despite having the most numerous species of any genus of Anisakidae, and despite a Accepted 16 January 2019 wide range of publications on various aspects of their pathogenicity, biology and ecology, there are no recent comprehensive reviews of these important parasites, particularly in the Southern Hemisphere. In this article, the diversity of Contracaecum parasites in Australian waters is reviewed and possible anthropological impacts on their populations are discussed. The abundance and diver- sity of these parasites may have been under-reported due to the inadequacy of common methods used to find them. Populations of Contracaecum parasites may be increasing due to anthropogenic factors. To minimise the risk these parasites pose to public health, preventive education of stake- holders is essential. There are still many unknown aspects of the parasites, such as detailed informa- tion on life cycles and host switching, that will be interesting directions for future studies. © 2019 Published by Elsevier Ltd on behalf of World Federation of Parasitologists.

  • Nematoda: Anisakidae) in Australian Marine Fish with Comments on Their Specific Identities
    Occurrence of Terranova larval types (Nematoda: Anisakidae) in Australian marine fish with comments on their specific identities Shokoofeh Shamsi and Jaydipbhai Suthar School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, Charles Sturt University, Wagga Wagga, NSW, Australia ABSTRACT Pseudoterranovosis is a well-known human disease caused by anisakid larvae belonging to the genus Pseudoterranova. Human infection occurs after consuming infected fish. Hence the presence of Pseudoterranova larvae in the flesh of the fish can cause serious losses and problems for the seafood, fishing and fisheries industries. The accurate identification of Pseudoterranova larvae in fish is important, but challenging because the larval stages of a number of different genera, including Pseudoterranova, Terranova and Pulchrascaris, look similar and cannot be differentiated from each other using morphological criteria, hence they are all referred to as Terranova larval type. Given that Terranova larval types in seafood are not necessarily Pseudoterranova and may not be dangerous, the aim of the present study was to investigate the occurrence of Terranova larval types in Australian marine fish and to determine their specific identity. A total of 137 fish belonging to 45 species were examined. Terranova larval types were found in 13 species, some of which were popular edible fish in Australia. The sequences of the first and second internal transcribed spacers (ITS-1 and ITS-2 respectively) of the Terranova larvae in the present study showed a high degree of similarity suggesting that they all belong to the same species. Due to the lack of a comparable sequence data of a well identified adult in the GenBank database the specific identity of Terranova larval type in the present study remains unknown.

Third-stage larvae of nematode parasite was isolated from the intestine as well as body cavity of the examined fish. Light and scanning electron microscopy revealed that this parasite belonged to Anisakidae family within the genus Pseudoterranova. The present species is named Pseudoterranova decipiens based on the presence of triangular mouth aperture with prominent boring teeth and soft swellings of the cuticle, long muscular esophagus, ventrally excretory pore, and narrow transverse slit of anal opening followed by a short mucron. The morphological characteristics of this species were confirmed by molecular analysis of 18S rDNA gene region of the present parasite. It demonstrated a close identity ≥89% with taxa under family Anisakidae, 85% with Raphidascarididae, and 79-84% with Toxocaridae.

    International Journal of Bioscience, Biochemistry and Bioinformatics, Vol. 3, No. 4, July 2013 Rapid Method for Detection of Anisakidae Larvae in Marine Fishes, Based on UV Transillumination Gaetano Vitale Celano, Antonello Paparella, Armida Fransvea, Claudia Balzaretti, and Giuseppe Celano are eaten by fish and cephalopods, where the third-stage Abstract—A rapid and sensitive detection method is larvae encyst. Finally, the life cycle is completed when proposed to evaluate the presence and vitality degree of marine mammals eat infected fish or cephalopods. Anisakidae larvae in marine fishes by UV diaphanoscopy. 923 Human infection may be considered accidental, as fish samples belonging to seven fish species (Merluccius humans are not suitable hosts for anisakids.However, these merluccius, Molva elongata, Sardina pilchardus, Scomber scomber, Triglia lucerna, Engraulis encrasicolus, and parasites have been involved in foodborne infections caused Trachurus trachurus) were evaluated for the presence of by consumption of raw or undercooked seafood. Reports Anisakidae larvae by using direct observation, peptic digestion, about detection of anisakids in different fish batches, in and UV transillumination. The results obtained indicate that particular in the autumn-winter season, have drawn public UV transillumination can be considered a rapid and accurate attention to their potential impact on public health. tool for routine analysis of marine fishes even under field Several types of parasite detection methods have been condition. proposed for anisakids, but they are all time-consuming and Index Terms—Anisakidae, larvae, detection, UV, difficult. In fact, different DNA-based techniques are transillumination. available [6]-[8], although their applicability in production environment is debatable.In the European Union, the official method for larvae detection (Council Directive 91/493/EEC) I.
