Only articles with description of one or more pathogenic organisms that were linked to food matrices of animal origin in Costa Rican territory were selected for this bibliographic review. <strong>Results:</strong> We identified 27 types of biological organisms associated with ETAs, isolated from different matrices of animal origin in Costa Rica. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> There is a plurality of organisms frequently associated with infections, toxoinfections and infestations in humans. With a growing panorama of increasing consumption of animal products to cope with population growth by 2050, these challenges are increasing in parallel. For this, it is imperative to implement the OneHealth concept in the productive schemes of the countries</p>}, number={2}, journal={UNED Research Journal}, author={Cartín Rojas, Andrés and Pascual Barrera, Alina}, year={2021}, month={Oct.}, pages={e3587} }
