Abstract
To evaluate the activity of different natural products against L3 larvae of Anisakis type I. Information on investigations into the activity of natural products against the L3 larvae of Anisakis simplex was collected from scientific journals, books, theses and reports via a library and electronic search (using Pubmed, Scopus, Medline, Web of Science and ScienceDirect). The search terms included: natural products, medicinal plants, essential oils, terpenic derivatives, Anisakis, antinematodal activity. In the literature reviewed numerous papers were found concerning the invitro and invivo activity against Anisakis type I of various natural products (plant extracts, essential oils and their major components). Analysis of the results showed that invitro tests the Melaleuca alternifolia essential oil and the ar-turmerone isolated from Curcuma longa displayed the greatest activity. Invivo, the most active compound was perillaldehyde, the main component of Perilla frutescens essential oil. This study shows that some natural products exhibited promising antianisakis properties.
