Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

The review „Anisakis, something is moving inside the fish” describes Anisakis sp. as a cousative agent of allergic disease dangerous for human.

The article is well written, it reads well and provide information interesiting for readers from the outside of medicine and parasitology.

I have only one suggestion for the authors: Whether authors could include in the manusript section about diagnostic methods for anisakiasis?

Author Response

The author appreciates the reviewers' suggestions and apologizes for the delay due to illness due to COVID-19.

Question

Response

·       I have only one suggestion for the authors: Whether authors could include in the manusript section about diagnostic methods for anisakiasis?

 

·       This mini-review is not based on anisakiasis but on the contribution from the point of view of allergy in the response to this parasite.

·       Regarding the expansion of the bibliographic references in relation to suggested diagnostic techniques,  the  reference number 11, specifically reviews these techniques.

Reviewer 2 Report

This review presented by Audicana clearly resume the key topics of anisakis allergy and provide to reader an expert opinion. Allergic anisakiasis is an emergent public health issue, especially in high-risk countries where high prevalence in fish have been reported. However, some clinical aspects are still neglected and epidemiological data should be increase. In light of these consideration and after a deep examination, I recommend the publication of this manuscript with only a few minor corrections. Please find more specific comments below.

The numbering of the bibliographic references must be inserted in square bracket, please, correct this error throughout the manuscript

Line 31-33 please add a bibliographic reference

Line 38 please, change adulthood with do not develop to adult stage

Line 42-43 please delete this sentence or add a bibliographic reference

Line 59-61 Which are these reports? In my opinion, for the reader it is important to have the bibliographic references in the text. In conclusions, this paper is presented as a review, therefore I strongly suggest to increase the bibliographic references throughout the manuscript.

Check the reference list carefully again from the beginning. Reference lists are frequently hotbeds of errors. The format adopted for the manuscript is wrong, please correct the references according to mdpi format.
