These are the five fish species with the highest risk of containing anisakis.
Anisakis is a microscopic parasite that, although invisible to the naked eye when it is in the larval stage, can become a very visible problem in our health. In recent years, health authorities have insisted on the importance of knowing which species are most at risk of being infected and how to prevent its transmission. […]
Allergens detected in commercial fish parasites: clues to their genetic expression and risks of consuming raw fish
A recent study led by researcher Luisana Lugo, in collaboration with the University of Chile and the Institute of Nutrition and Food Technology (INTA), has identified the genetic expression of allergens in the parasite Anisakis pegreffii, present in fish of commercial interest. The finding, published in Scientific Reports, represents an important advance in the understanding […]
