Abstract: This paper represents the most important meat borne parasitic zoonoses with emphasis on epidemiology, diagnosis and treatment. This paper also highlights the importance of a collaborative approach to the prevention and control of food borne diseases and discusses the need to coordinate the efforts of international agencies working on human health, animal health and food production. These diseases are becoming more common as they are generally not recognised but have a major health impact on human population. Transmission of parasitic zoonoses through food has public health as well as socioeconomic importance.
