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.
