  • Title: Current status of food-borne parasitic zoonoses in Hong Kong.
    Author: Ko RC.
    Journal: Southeast Asian J Trop Med Public Health; 1991 Dec; 22 Suppl():42-7. PubMed ID: 1822935.
    Abstract:
    Although there have been no recent epidemiological studies on parasitic zoonoses in Hong Kong, the following diseases are known to occur locally: toxoplasmosis, clonorchiasis, fasciolopsiasis, cysticercosis, hydatidosis, sparganosis, trichinellosis, angiostrongyliasis, gnathostomiasis and trichostrongylosis. Most of them are due to the consumption of infected animals imported from China. Due to the general unawareness of parasitic diseases by physicians and health authorities, the importance of zoonoses has been under recognized.
