Emerg Infect Dis. 2023 Dec;29(12):2578-2580. doi: 10.3201/eid2912.230674.ABSTRACTFish products in Slovakia have been heavily infected with Anisakis spp. larvae, which causes human anisakiasis. We found larvae in all tested samples of frozen Atlantic herring. Anisakid allergen t-Ani s7 testing revealed 2 positive cases in humans, signaling need for health authorities to closely monitor zoonotic marine parasites, even in inland areas.PMID:37987607 | DOI:10.3201/eid2912.230674
