title: [Clinical epidemiology and prevention of zoonotic parasitic infections in humans. A review].
abstract: Multicentre and long standing (1964-2002) studies on clinical epidemiology of zoonotic parasitic invasions in humans and possibilities of its control in Poland are reviewed. The object of the studies were trichinellosis, taeniosis, giardiosis, toxoplasmosis, toxocarosis, as well as cystic and alveolar echinococcoses. In the control of these invasions very important was a close and long term cooperation of a clinical parasitological centre with veterinary scientific institutions and veterinary services in Poland as well as a collaboration between Polish parasitologists and leading parasitological centers in Europe and USA.
