Summary
Anisakis simplex, a zoonotic parasite, is increasingly studied. This bibliometric analysis reveals research trends and highlights the growing global importance of anisakiasis, urging international collaboration for control.
Area of Science:
- Parasitology
- Zoonotic diseases
- Food safety
Background:
- Anisakis simplex is a well-known fish-borne zoonotic parasite.
- Recent years have seen a surge in publications on anisakiasis, yet bibliometric analysis remains limited.
- Understanding research trends is crucial for addressing the growing global impact of Anisakis simplex infections.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric analysis of Anisakis simplex research.
- To identify key research areas, trends, and collaboration patterns.
- To provide insights into the global scientific output on Anisakis simplex.
Main Methods:
- Bibliometric analysis of publications from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC).
- Data spanning from 1970 to 2022, encompassing 1362 articles.
- VOSviewer software used for visualizing countries, institutions, authors, references, and keywords.
Main Results:
- Publications originated from 79 countries, with Spain being the most prolific (33.48%).
- The year 2020 saw the highest number of publications (n=74).
- Parasitology was the dominant research area, with 'Anisakis simplex', 'Anisakis', and 'anisakiasis' as top keywords.
Conclusions:
- The increasing publication volume indicates the growing global significance of anisakiasis.
- Enhanced international research cooperation is vital for developing effective control strategies.
- Further bibliometric studies can guide future research directions on Anisakis simplex.

02:02Genomics
Genomics is the science of genomes: it is the study of all the genetic material of an organism. In humans, the genome consists of information carried in 23 pairs of chromosomes in the nucleus, as well as mitochondrial DNA. In genomics, both coding and non-coding DNA is sequenced and analyzed. Genomics allows a better understanding of all living things, their evolution, and their diversity. It has a myriad of uses: for example, to build phylogenetic trees, to improve productivity and...
02:46Chi-square Analysis
The chi-square test is a statistical hypothesis test. It is used to check whether there is a significant difference between an expected value and an observed value. In the context of genetics, it enables us to either accept or reject a hypothesis, based on how much the observed values deviate from the expected values.
The chi-square test was developed by Pearson in 1990.
The first step of performing a Chi-square analysis is to establish a null hypothesis, which assumes that there is no real...

01:33Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay
In 1971, Peter Perlman and Eva Engvall developed an Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA or EIA). ELISA differs from western blot in that the assays are conducted in microtiter plates or in vivo rather than on an absorbent membrane.
There are many different types of ELISAs, but they all involve an antibody molecule whose constant region binds an enzyme, leaving the variable region free to bind its specific antigen. Enzyme-substrate reaction allows the antigen to be visualized or quantified.

01:25Statistical Methods for Analyzing Epidemiological Data
Epidemiological data primarily involves information on specific populations' occurrence, distribution, and determinants of health and diseases. This data is crucial for understanding disease patterns and impacts, aiding public health decision-making and disease prevention strategies. The analysis of epidemiological data employs various statistical methods to interpret health-related data effectively. Here are some commonly used methods:
01:28Infectious Diseases and Their Occurrence
Infectious diseases appear in populations through various transmission patterns, influenced by pathogen characteristics, population immunity, environmental conditions, and social behavior. Understanding these patterns is essential for effective public health surveillance and intervention. These categories—sporadic, outbreak, epidemic, pandemic, and endemic—help frame the nature and scope of disease events.Sporadic diseases occur irregularly and infrequently, without a predictable temporal or...
01:28Amebiasis
Entamoeba histolytica, a protozoan parasite, is responsible for intestinal and extraintestinal amebiasis. Though a significant proportion of infections remain asymptomatic, approximately 50 million individuals annually are estimated to present with clinical disease, resulting in up to 100,000 deaths globally. The disease burden is disproportionately high in regions with lower socioeconomic status, such as parts of India, Africa, Mexico, and Latin America.Etiology and TransmissionThe infective...
