Voorbeelden van zoonosis

• Fascioliasis is a true zoonosis with increasing evidence of human infections worldwide, but especially in the rural poor.

• Implementation of these strategies will limit potential environmental contamination, thus reducing potential transmission to other animals and reducing public health impacts due to waterborne zoonoses.

• Fascioliasis is also emerging as a major zoonosis and is considered to be a serious health problem in some countries.

• Leptospirosis is one of the most common bacterial zoonoses worldwide.

• Emerging problems in food borne parasitic zoonosis: impact on agriculture and public health.

• This appears to be the most specific antigen (>90 %) currently available with the major cross-reactions occurring only with the other cestode zoonoses.

• However, isolated cases that were reported in the literature presaged what is increasingly being recognised as a widespread zoonosis due to diverse agents.

• For their management, assessment of their potential roles in transmission of zoonoses or veterinary diseases might be of major value.

• Therefore, more attention will need to be paid to informing the public about farm visits and zoonoses, about the risks and their responsibilities.

• This knowledge is therefore useful in diagnostic and vaccination strategies against this zoonosis.

• The leishmaniases as emerging and reemerging zoonoses.

• The probability of toxocaral infection and the intensity of its clinical manifestations in children are determined by the epidemiology of this zoonosis and by the risk factors in the family.

• Concerning measures for protection against specified zoonoses and specified zoonotic agents in animals and products of animal origin in order to prevent outbreaks of foodborne infection and intoxication.

• This volume is thus of particular interest to specialists, as well as non-specialists working in the fields of medical parasitology, veterinary public health, helminthic zoonoses, host-parasite ecology and molecular epidemiology.

• In actual fact, we have a situation of impending rampant zoonosis: in other words, diseases can be transmitted from animal to human being.
