Over the last 20 years, Anisakis has become a highly studied parasite, not only for its parasitism, but also for its role as an inducer of allergic reactions. Several studies have indicated that the pathological changes occurring within the gastrointestinal tract during infection with Anisakis simplex are the combined result of the direct action of the larvae invading the tissue and the complex interaction between the host\u2019s immune system and the parasite. Although the most commonly described pathologies are digestive, urticaria\/angioedema and anaphylaxis, occupational asthma and arthritis have been seldom described. This paper is a narrative of the immune-mediated reaction induced by this parasite over the course of the last two decades.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/pathogens11030326","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,9]],"date-time":"2022-03-09T01:53:54Z","timestamp":1646790834000},"page":"326","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":26,"title":["Anisakis, Something Is Moving inside the Fish"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Mar\u00eda Teresa","family":"Audicana","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Allergy and Clinical Immunology, University Hospital of Araba (HUA), OSI ARABA, Basque Country, 01009 Vitoria-Gasteiz, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,3,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"1233","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijpara.2005.07.013","article-title":"Fish-Borne Parasitic Zoonoses: Status and Issues","volume":"35","author":"Chai","year":"2005","journal-title":"Int.
