Abstract:A multiplex PCR method was established for the rapid identification of Anisakis simplex sensu stricto, A. pegreffii, A. physeteris, Pseudoterranova decipiens, Contracaecum osculatum and Hysterothylacium aduncum. The sequence alignment of the internal transcribed spacer 1 region (ITS-1) between A. simplex s. str. and A. pegreffii showed a high degree of similarity, but only two C-T transitions were observed. To differentiate A. simplex s. str. from A. pegreffii, an intentional mismatch primer with an artificial mismatched base at the second base from the primer 3' end was constructed. This intentional mismatch primer, which produced a PCR band only from A. pegreffii DNA, was able to differentiate the two morphologically indistinguishable sibling species of A. simplex. Specific forward primers for other anisakid species were also designed based on the nucleotide sequences of the ITS region. The multiplex PCR using these primers yielded distinct PCR products for each of the anisakid nematodes. The multiplex PCR established in this study would be a useful tool for identifying anisakid nematodes rapidly and accurately.
