Epidemiological surveillance methods for vector-borne diseases.

Compared with many other diseases, the ever-increasing threat of vector-borne diseases (VBDs) represents a great challenge to public and animal health managers. Complex life cycles, changing distribution ranges, a variety of potential vectors and hosts, and the possible role of reservoirs make surveillance for VBDs a grave concern in a changing environment with increasing economic constraints. ...

Snail-borne parasitic zoonoses in Korea.

A total of 22 snail-borne parasites causing various parasitic zoonoses in Korea are listed and reviewed. All of these parasites are indigenous except Heterophyes heterophyes, H. dispar and Angiostrongylus cantonensis detected in patients who traveled outside of Korea.
