Anisakiasis, a disease caused by a number of Anisakis spp.

A brief note of introduction from the CDC website:  https://www.cdc.gov/parasites/anisakiasis/index.html

Anisakiasis is a parasitic disease caused by anisakid nematodes (worms) that can invade the stomach wall or intestine of humans. The transmission of this disease occurs when infective larvae are ingested from fish or squid that humans eat raw or undercooked. In some cases, this infection is treated by removal of the larvae via endoscopy or surgery.

Center: A view of the anterior (head) end of Pseudoterranova decipiens, showing the presence of lips; taken under differential interference contrast (DIC) microscopy.
