Humans are infested by consumption in the larval stage of the nematode of Anisakis present in raw fish and shellfish such as hake or conger eel. The infestation is preferably located in the upper digestive tract, observing the regurgita-tion of the parasite to the mouth or becoming evident during an upper gastrointestinal endoscopy. In rare cases, the larvae can migrate to the peritoneum or continue their passage through the small intestine and colon, with expulsion in stools being unusual. We present a case of expulsion of two larvae of the Anisakidae family in feces.</p>info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessanisakidosisAnisakis sppfecesfoodborne diseaseparasitic diseaseszoonosesSDG 3 - Good Health and Well-beingSDG 14 - Life Below WaterArticle
