In Korea meat from various mammals, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and crustaceans serves as host for approximately 25 species of parasites. These food-borne parasitic zoonoses are important public health problems; they are of concern for the live stock and food industry and for farmers and fisherman. Traditionally, Koreans have been vegetable and fish eating people, but eating habits are changing to include the eating of meat. Dogs, cats and other pets are finding places in the home and these animals become involved in zoonotic diseases. Consequently, the prevalence of zoonotic parasitoses is increasing in Korea. There are increasing reports of cryptosporidiosis and trichinosis in the country associated with changing cultural habits in the Korean people.
在韩国，各种哺乳动物、爬行动物、两栖动物、鱼类和甲壳类动物的肉是大约25种寄生虫的宿主。这些食源性寄生性人畜共患病是重要的公共卫生问题；它们受到畜牧业、食品行业以及农民和渔民的关注。传统上，韩国人以蔬菜和鱼类为食，但饮食习惯正在改变，开始吃肉。狗、猫和其他宠物在家庭中占有一席之地，这些动物会感染人畜共患病。因此，韩国人畜共患寄生虫病的患病率正在上升。该国与韩国人不断变化的文化习惯相关的隐孢子虫病和旋毛虫病报告越来越多。
