As our ability to recognise and diagnose human disease caused by helminth parasites has improved, so our understanding of the epidemiology and clinical manifestations of these diseases has improved. Humans can develop patent infection with a wide range of helminth parasites, whose natural host is another vertebrate. Rather than focusing on a comprehensive review of zoonotic helminth infections, this review describes in detail examples of zoonotic helminth infections that have newly appeared in human populations, or have existed but are increasing in incidence or geographic range. Examples include intestinal capillariasis, anisakidosis, eosinophilic enteritis, oesophagostomiasis and gnathostomiasis. Potential reasons for the emergence of these infections, including changes in social, dietary or cultural mores, environmental changes, and the improved recognition of heretofore neglected infections often coupled with an improved ability to diagnose infection are discussed.
随着我们识别和诊断由蠕虫寄生虫引起的人类疾病的能力有所提高，我们对这些疾病的流行病学和临床表现的理解也有所增进。人类可感染多种蠕虫寄生虫并出现明显症状，这些寄生虫的自然宿主是其他脊椎动物。本综述并未对人畜共患蠕虫感染进行全面回顾，而是详细描述了在人群中新出现的、或过去已存在但发病率或地理范围正在增加的人畜共患蠕虫感染实例。实例包括肠道毛细线虫病、异尖线虫病、嗜酸性肠炎、结节线虫病和颚口线虫病。文中讨论了这些感染出现的潜在原因，包括社会、饮食或文化习俗的变化、环境变化，以及对以前被忽视的感染的认知改善，这往往伴随着诊断感染能力的提高。
