AB  - Anisakiasis  is  caused  by  infection  with  larvae  of  parasites  of  saltwater  fish  and  squid.  Multiple  species  of  the  family  Anisakidae  may  occasionally  infect  humans.  Definitive  hosts  for  these  parasites  are  marine  mammals.  Eggs  are  passed  in  the  feces  and  ingested  by  crustaceans,  which  are  then  eaten  by  fish  and  squid.  When  ingested  by  humans  in  undercooked  seafood,  larvae  penetrate  the  stomach  or  intestinal  wall  but  cannot  complete  their  life  cycle.  The  disease  is  most  common  in  Japan.
