ABSTRACT Foodborne infections due to parasites have been well known since time and continue to be of great importance in many regions of the world. A total of one hundred specimens of Sauridaundosqamis (lizard fish) were collected from fish markets at sharkiagovernate from October 2018 till the end of May 2019. Samples were investigated parasitologically for anisakid nematode larvae. The results showed that the total prevalence of anisakid nematode was 58%.The sites of infection were pyloric caeca, peritoneal cavity, stomach, large intestine and liver. Anisakis spp., Phocanema spp. and Hystyrothylacium larvae were isolated.
