2 Including wild boar meat. We neglect the small proportion of cases associated with meat from horses, bears and other animals.
3 Includes selected species of the families Echinostomatidae, Gymnophallidae, Heterophyidae, Nanophyetidae, Neodiplostomidae and Plagiorchiidae. We neglect transmission by other foods, such as shellfish, frogs, snails and snakes.
