Changing eating habits, population growth and movements, global trade of foodstuff, changes in food production systems, climate change, increased awareness and better diagnostic tools are some of the main drivers affecting the emergence or re-emergence of many foodborne parasitic diseases in recent years. In particular, the increasing demand for exotic and raw food is one of the reasons why reports of foodborne infections, and especially waterborne parasitosis, have increased in the last years. Moreover increasing global demand for protein of animal origin has led to certain farming practices (e.g. aquaculture) increasing in emerging or developing countries, where health monitoring may not be sufficiently implemented. Therefore, high quality epidemiological data are needed which together with biological, economic, social and cultural variables should be taken into account when setting control programs for these increasingly popular production systems in emerging economies. This review focuses on the dietary, social, economic and environmental changes that may cause an increase in human exposure to foodborne parasites. Some examples illustrating these new epidemiological dynamics of transmission foodborne parasitic disease are presented.
饮食习惯的改变、人口增长和迁移、食品的全球贸易、食品生产系统的变化、气候变化、意识的提高和更好的诊断工具是近年来影响许多食源性寄生虫病出现或再现的主要驱动因素。特别是，对异国情调和生食的需求不断增加，是近年来食源性感染，特别是水源性寄生虫病报告增加的原因之一。此外，对动物源蛋白质的全球需求不断增加，导致某些养殖方式（如水产养殖）在新兴或发展中国家的增加，而这些国家的健康监测可能没有得到充分实施。因此，需要高质量的流行病学数据，在为新兴经济体中这些日益流行的生产系统制定控制计划时，应考虑到生物、经济、社会和文化变量。本综述重点讨论了可能导致人类接触食源性病原体增加的饮食、社会、经济和环境变化。本文介绍了一些说明食源性寄生虫病传播这些新的流行病学动态的例子。
