Abstract

The increasing consumption of fishery products is the cause of the increasing risk of contracting a parasitic oonosis, due to Anisakidae larvae. The present study is aimed at defining the prevalence of Anisakidae larvae, the infestation intensity, the anatomical localization and the seasonal distribution of the parasites in fish caught in the FAO zone 37.2.2. The research has been conducted on 301 samples, 151 of “blu fish” (Trachurus spp., Sardina pilchardus, Engraulis encrasicolus) and 150 of “white fish” (Boops boops, Trisopterus minutus capelanus, Merluccius merluccius) from July 2009 to June 2010. The results have shown a total positivity of 53%. In two samples (1.2%) the parasites were detected also in the muscles. Parasitosis has shown a constant seasonal distribution. The results obtained showed the large diffusion of the parasites in the considered fishing area and the potential health hazard when risky food habits are adepte.
