Prevention and control of neglected parasitic zoonoses
Neglected parasitic zoonoses (NPZ) are a group of diseases involving trichinellosis, echinococcosis, cysticercosis, and foodborne trematode infections that continue to place significant burdens on some populations around the world. Control and prevention of these diseases require intersectoral collaboration among the public health, animal health, food safety and WASH sectors. This page lists resources to control and prevent NPZs published by the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations (FAO), the World Health Organization (WHO), and the World Organisation for Animal Health (WOAH, founded as OIE), as a tripartite.
