==Etymology== The genus ''Anisakis'' was defined in 1845<ref>Dujardin F. (1845). [https://archive.org/details/histoirenaturell1845duja ''Histoire naturelle des helminthes ou vers intestinaux'']. xvi, 654+15 pp. (''Anisakis'': p. 220) {{open access}}</ref> by [[Félix Dujardin]] as a subgenus of the [[genus (biology)|genus]] ''[[Ascaris]]'' [[Carl Linnaeus|Linnaeus]], [[10th edition of Systema Naturae|1758]]. Dujardin did not make explicit the [[etymology]], but stated that the subgenus included the species in which the males have unequal [[spicule (nematode)|spicules]] ("''mâles ayant des spicules inégaux''"); thus, the name ''Anisakis'' is based on ''anis-'' (Greek prefix for different) and ''akis'' (Greek for spine or spicule). Two species were included in the new subgenus, ''Ascaris'' (''Anisakis'') ''distans'' [[Karl Asmund Rudolphi|Rudolphi]], 1809 and [[Anisakis simplex|''Ascaris'' (''Anisakis'') simplex]] Rudolphi, 1809.{{citation needed|date=January 2023}}
