Foodborne illness caused by Parasites

Foodborne parasites have long been a forgotten group of pathogens, since they are mostly associated with vulnerable or disadvantaged groups and have insidious, persistent symptoms rather than acute diseases. Since they are mainly associated with poor or marginalized populations and have insidious, recurring effects rather than severe diseases, foodborne parasites have long become a forgotten category of pathogens. Foodborne parasites, on the other hand, have been able to appear in diverse populations in new environments, spread by various food types, and often with unexplained symptoms as a result of global patterns.
