Tissue distribution of Anisakis simplex larvae (Nematoda; Anisakidae) in wild Atlantic salmon, Salmo salar, from the Drammenselva river, south-east Norway (original) (raw)

Bulletin- European Association of Fish Pathologists

Abstract

The tissue distribution of Anisakis simplex was studied in 17 adult Atlantic salmon Salmo salar (1.5-3.9 kg) recently returned to a Norwegian river. The presence and distribution of nematodes was diagnosed by PCR. All 17 Atlantic salmon had A. simplex larvae in the viscera and musculature. The A. simplex larvae were found in the viscera and 39 % were found in the musculature. The mean number of A. simplex larvae in the A. simplex larvae in the vent area observed in association with a condition named the red vent syndrome in wild A. simplex * Corresponding author's email: tor.a.mo@vetinst.no
