Histopathology of larval Anisakis simplex B (Nematoda, Anisakidae), parasites of short-finned squid in the S.E. North Atlantic

The histopathology of larval Aniskis simplex B in naturally infected squids off south-eastern North Atlantic is described. Host tissue response to invading nematode larvae and their eventual encapsulation in the stomach of the squid hosts suggests a cell-mediated immune response in defence against p...

Description
Summary:The histopathology of larval Aniskis simplex B in naturally infected squids off south-eastern North Atlantic is described. Host tissue response to invading nematode larvae and their eventual encapsulation in the stomach of the squid hosts suggests a cell-mediated immune response in defence against parasitic invasions.
