'''''Anisakis'''''  ({{IPAc-en|æ|n|ə|ˈ|s|ɑː|k|iː|z}} {{respell|a|nə|SAH|keez}}) is a [[genus]] of [[parasitic]] [[nematode]]s that have life cycles involving fish and [[marine mammal]]s.<ref>Berger SA, Marr JS (2006). ''Human Parasitic Diseases Sourcebook''. Jones and Bartlett Publishers: Sudbury, Massachusetts</ref> They are infective to humans and cause [[#Anisakiasis|anisakiasis]]. People who produce [[immunoglobulin E]] in response to this parasite may subsequently have an allergic reaction, including [[anaphylactic|anaphylaxis]], after eating fish infected with ''Anisakis'' species.
