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.
