BACKGROUND Fish is an important cause of food allergy. Studies on fish allergy are scarce and in most cases limited to serological evaluation. Our objective was to study patterns of self-reported allergy and tolerance to different commonly consumed fish species and its correlation to IgE sensitization to the same species. METHODS Thirty-eight adult fish allergic patients completed a questionn...

Parvalbumin is a pan-allergen in fish and frog that triggers IgE-mediated reactions in fish-allergic individuals. Previous studies demonstrated that antibodies raised against fish and frog parvalbumins displayed varying specificity for different fish species, and thus the applicability of these antibodies for potential use in immunoassays to detect fish residues were limited. We aimed to determ...

Betanodaviruses are the causative agents of viral nervous necrosis (VNN) in cultured marine fish.
