ABSTRACT

In this report two probable cases of anisakiosis and results on search of Anisakis larvae in 12 old specimens of Coryphaena hippurus "perico" or "dorado" that were expended at the markets of Ica city from Marcona and San Andrés (Department of Ica) and Ilo (Department of Moquegua) in Central and South peruvian coast during phenomenon "El Niño" 1997-98 are presented. Two probable cases of acute gastric anisakisis by eating "cebiche" of "perico" have been founded; the prevalence of Anisakis physeteris larvae was 7/12 and relative intensity was of 14-63 (X=34.28) larvae. It's thought that anisakiosis emerges during phenomenon El Niño and some measure of controls in order to low the risk of infection by this marine zoonoses are proposed
