The current public health status in Malaysia of some of the food-borne parasitic zoonoses, such as angiostrongyliasis,trichinellosis, toxoplasmosis, sarcocystosis, and other food-borne zoonoses, such as pentastomiasis, is presented.

The etiological agents of human trichinellosis show virtually worldwide distribution in domestic and/or wild animals, with the exception of Antarctica, where the presence of the parasite has not been reported. This global distribution of Trichinella and varying cultural eating habits represent the main factors favouring human infections in industrialised and non-industrialised countries. Human ...
