Liver Flukes

  • Chapter
Food-Borne Parasitic Zoonoses

Part of the book series: World Class Parasites ((WCPA,volume 11))

Abstract

Food-borne trematodes (FBTs) contribute to parasitic zoonoses such as liver, lung, and intestinal flukes of humans and they are contracted by the consumption of larval stages in food-related products. Food-borne trematodiasis has been recognized as an important health problem in Asia (WHO, 1995, 2004). The infections are prevalent in developing countries and are closely linked to poverty, pollution, and population growth, and are also associated with cultural determinants, that is, food behavior and tradition.
