The peak of the notifications occurred in the year 2011, representing 19% of the number of total notifications of _Anisakis_[4]. Of the 546 _Anisakis_ notifications, the main notified taxa were mackerel (123 notifications) and hake (106 notifications), followed by anglerfish (94 notifications) and anchovy (29 notifications) [4]. Among several types of fish parasites, the genus _Anisakis_ deputes the widely distributed fish nematodes, capable of inducing ichthyozoonosis disease. A recent systematic literature survey carried out by Ophranet [5] estimated that the worldwide incidence of zoonotic cases attributed to _Anisakis_ species in 2021 is to 0.32/100,000. _Anisakis_ are parasitic nematodes belonging to the phylum Nemathelminutes, class Secernentea, order Ascarida, suborder Ascarida, superfamily Ascaridoidaea, family Anisakidae and subfamily Anisakinae [6]. The genus _Anisakis_ comprises nine species; however, only two of them, _A. simplex_ s.s. and _A. pegreffii_, have been confirmed as zoonotic pathogens [7; 8], while _Pseudoteranova decipiens_ and _Contracaecum osculum_ always belonging to the anisakid genera rarely were considered responsible for infections in humans [9].
