RESUMO
Among human parasites, some are also hosted by wild animals which can play a role in their transmission. Different rodents are well known as reservoirs of cutaneous leishmaniasis or of multilocular echinococcosis. But some other groups as fish, can also carry parasites; herrings causes anisakiasis in North Europe, but fresh water fishes do the same for Diphyllobothrium in alpine lakes. Human cases of trichinellosis are rare in countries where veterinary control of pig and horse meat is strict, but cases still occurr with boar meat. All together, the incidence in developped countries is limited, but reducing the prevention would induce re-emergencies of public health importance.

The incidence of cutaneous leishmaniasis (CL) has increased in Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso since 1996. A study was carried out from September to November 2000 to determine the impact of HIV on this outbreak. Of 74 CL patients, 10 were co-infected with HIV. The percentage of CL in patients positive for HIV was slightly higher than the percentage of HIV patients in Ouagadougou. However, the study showed that HIV infection did not increase the risk of CL infection.
