In the Republic of Korea, cases of zoonotic, opportunistic and imported parasitoses are being detected increasingly. Vivax malaria disappeared in the late 1970s but re-emerged in 1993 and, currently, 1000-2000 cases occur annually. Brugian filariasis was endemic on offshore islands until 1990 but has now been eradicated. Soil-transmitted helminthiases (ascariasis, trichuriasis and hookworm infections) were highly prevalent until the 1970s but are now well controlled. However, food-borne trematode infections, such as clonorchiasis and intestinal trematodiases (including heterophyidiasis, echinostomiasis and gymnophalloidiasis), each show steady prevalence. This review focuses on trends in parasitic diseases in the Republic of Korea.
在大韩民国，人畜共患、机会性和输入性寄生虫病的病例越来越多地被发现。间日疟在20世纪70年代末消失，但在1993年再次出现，目前每年有1000 - 2000例病例。布鲁氏丝虫病在1990年前在近海岛屿流行，但现在已被根除。土壤传播的蠕虫病（蛔虫病、鞭虫病和钩虫感染）在20世纪70年代前非常普遍，但现在已得到很好的控制。然而，食源性吸虫感染，如华支睾吸虫病和肠道吸虫病（包括异形吸虫病、棘口吸虫病和裸茎吸虫病），每种感染的患病率都呈稳定态势。本综述重点关注大韩民国寄生虫病的趋势。
