Talk:Anisakis

Don't worms in other genera (marine-mammal ascarids like Phocanema, Terranova, and Pseudoterranova) also cause the disease? Should the page be moved to Anasakiasis and include them? Dave (talk) 18:57, May 8, 2005 (UTC)


 * Technically, yes. I included it here as the other forms of infection are rarer and the articles on the species didn't exist, but if you think it should break out into its own article, that's good with me. Anilocra 19:38, 8 May 2005 (UTC)

So I fixed the broken citation for #1, but I screwed up the numbering. Someone else with more knowledge on these tags help me out here? Thanks --24.82.242.132 (talk) 19:13, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

In the section about Anisakiasis, it mentions areas of high prevalence including Holland, but then states that Holland has mostly eliminated it by requiring freezing of all herring... Does anybody know which is correct? Theuglyman (talk) 20:02, 22 November 2012 (UTC)

Split proposed
The disease entry should have enough notability to be its own article. A split is also necessitated by the fact that very similar diseases, often also considered "Anasakiasis", are caused by other worms under the same family of Anisakidae -- a folks have mentioned it back in 2005, see above.

I don't know whether the severe allergic reaction should also go to the split. I am leaning yes (mechanistically speaking, it probably also isn't limited to this genus), but that won't be quite covered under the title of "Anasakiasis". Artoria2e5 🌉 12:28, 3 January 2024 (UTC)


 *  Support  . It's helpful to have disease and pathogen covered in separate articles. Tom (LT) (talk) 06:16, 26 January 2024 (UTC)
