Abstract: Stall-economy is an economic form in which income is obtained by setting up street stalls, which is of certain practical significance to relieve employment pressure and improve the life of low-income people. Although this economic pattern is a supplement to the market economy of our nation, and helps to promote economic development, yet it may also bring certain challenges to the prevention and control of food-borne parasitic diseases. This paper briefly summarized the infection status of food-borne parasites associated with foodstuff in the street-gourmet in China, and the epidemic situation of food-borne parasitic diseases in population, and proposed some countermeasures for the prevention and control of food-borne parasitic diseases in China based on the setting of street-stall economy.

Key words: Stall-economy, Food-borne parasitic diseases, Control and prevention measures
