Anisakis (/ænəˈsɑːkiːz/ a-nə-SAH-keez) is a genus of parasitic nematodes that have life cycles involving fish and marine mammals.^[1] They are infective to humans and cause anisakiasis. People who produce immunoglobulin E in response to this parasite may subsequently have an allergic reaction, including anaphylaxis, after eating fish infected with Anisakis species.
