Researchers from the National Museum of Natural Sciences contribute to the improvement of Anisakis diagnosis (ES)
This study is the first step for the development of new and more accurate diagnostic methods. Researchers from the National Museum of Natural Sciences and the National Biotechnological Centre, both belonging to the Spanish National Research Council, and the Hospital Carlos III from Madrid, have determined the presence of allergenic proteins in different Anisakis species. In particular, they have characterized the allergenic capacity of the complex Anisakis simplex sensu lato, comprised by the species Anisakis simplex, A. pegreffi and A. simplex C, the more relevant from a clinic point of view.
