The anisakis roundworm is a parasitic nematode that primarily inhabits the bodies of marine fish and can also infect marine mammals. Humans can become infected by consuming raw or undercooked fish containing the larvae, leading to anisakiasis, a gastrointestinal illness characterized by symptoms like abdominal pain and nausea. Proper cooking and freezing of fish can effectively kill the larvae and prevent infection.
