This study reviews incidental aquatic zoonoses, including parasitic infections like Angiostrongylus cantonensis and Guinea worm, and diseases transmitted by shellfish, such as hepatitis.

Area of Science:

  • Veterinary Medicine
  • Parasitology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Aquatic environments harbor diverse pathogens transmissible to humans.
  • Zoonotic diseases pose significant public health challenges globally.
  • Incidental aquatic zoonoses are often overlooked in public health discourse.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To discuss incidental aquatic zoonoses.
  • To raise awareness about lesser-known aquatic-borne diseases.
  • To highlight the importance of understanding aquatic pathogen transmission.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of documented aquatic zoonotic infections.
  • Compilation of parasitic and viral agents associated with aquatic environments.
  • Categorization of zoonoses based on causative agent and transmission route.

Main Results:

  • Eosinophilic meningitis caused by Angiostrongylus cantonensis is a key concern.
  • Dracunculus medinesis (Guinea worm) remains a significant aquatic zoonosis.
  • Anisakis infections, Cryptocotyle lingua, Philophthalmus (eye fluke), and Diplogonoporus grandis tapeworm are discussed.
  • Shellfish-borne hepatitis represents a notable viral zoonotic risk.

Conclusions:

  • Aquatic zoonoses encompass a range of parasitic and viral infections.
  • Proper handling and consumption of aquatic resources are crucial for prevention.
  • Further research and public awareness are needed to mitigate risks associated with aquatic zoonoses.
