Abstract

Anisakis species species are identified by using molecular biology techniques due to the absen- 
ce larval diagnostic features in the fish host. This study identified anisakids by molecular tech
niques in Pseudotolithus elongatus and Bostrychus africanus caught from Rivers State. Parasite 
identification was accomplished at the Regional Center for Biotechnology and Bioresource Cent- 
er, University of Port Harcourt, Nigeria. NCBI blast confirmed Anisakis simplex, Anisakis br
evispiculata from Pseudotolithus elongatus and Goezia spinulosa, and Raphidascaroides brasili
ensis from B. africanus.
