Results of micro-Ouchterlony double diffusion indicate that Anisakis third stage lava and Ascaris lumbricoides section stage larvae have at least one identical antigenic component. Passive hemagglutination tests of the antiserums agains Anisakis and Ascaris Lumbricoides second stage larval antigens were positive with very high titers with the heterologous serum. The results of the study were interpreted to indicate that in endemic areas for ascariasis, Anisakiasis should be purified fractions to avoid cross-reactions due to infections with A. lumbricoides.
