Parasitic infections constitute an important group of zoonoses. Stool examination of inpatients, medical examinees and out-patients in a sub-tropical environment established that Inermicapsifer madagascariensis and Schistosoma mattheei are occasionally anthropozoonotic in Zambia. Strongyloides fülleborni, a species normally parasitic in primates is not uncommon in man; whether it is anthropozoonotic or a parasite well adapted to man in this part of Africa needs further investigation. The finding of unidentified spiruroid ova was considered to be due to a spurious infection. The need for the differentiation of such organisms from those commonly infecting man is emphasized especially since the literature on such a subject is so sparse in the country and on the continent.
寄生虫感染是重要的人畜共患病群体。对亚热带环境中的住院患者、体检者和门诊患者进行粪便检查发现，在赞比亚，马达加斯加无饰绦虫和马氏血吸虫偶尔会出现人兽共患情况。通常寄生于灵长类动物的富氏类圆线虫在人类中也并不罕见；它是否为人兽共患病或是否是在非洲这一地区很好地适应了人类的寄生虫，尚需进一步研究。发现未鉴定的旋尾目虫卵被认为是假性感染。强调了区分此类生物与常见感染人类的生物的必要性，特别是因为该国和该大陆关于这一主题的文献非常稀少。
