Since December 2023, data on the occurrence of Anisakid nematodes (from 2010- 2023), including Anisakis, Contracaecum, and Pseudoterranova, has been extracted from 265 publications focusing on wild fish produced and commercialized both within and outside Europe. Additionally, data from 11 publications concerning Aquaculture in European countries has been collected, with 9 publications providing data on both Aquaculture and wild sources. Furthermore, a dedicated catalogue for these nematodes has been added to the Pathogens in Foods database, intended to facilitate easy accessibility and retrieval of the available data.
