Abstract
There are some fish diseases and infections that can be transmitted from fish to humans. It is a health risk that needs to be recognised by fi sh farmers and other people who handle and/or consume seafood. Th e incidence of transmission of parasitic disease from fi sh to humans is dependant upon several factors including the type of parasitic organisms, the susceptibility of the host (immuno-compromised individuals ) and environmental factors (quality of the water). In the present study ,a survey was done to investigate the zoonotic parasitic species that transmitted from diff erent fi sh species to human and causing gastroenteritis and other health problems. Results revealed the presence of three trematod , two nematode and two protozoan species. In addition another survey was done for estimating the incidence of infection with these parasites among human population in diff erent localities in Egypt.
